Default Outdoor cover for my sapph

As im going to be without garage for a month or 2 I need to get a good quality fitted cover to protect the paint from all the dust etc from all the building work we are doing

Sooooo who does the best fit, quality etc

I have a Covercraft one and can reccommend! Another name that will probably get mentioned is Classic Additions.

classic additions cover is good. but im sure a few months back some one used it and when they took it off the car the cars paint had all bubbled up. same prob with my mates evo. sometimes the expensive ones fuck up the cars paint! i paid 20quid for mine and its perfect. when u put the cover on make sure the car is cool and the bonnet aint boiling when u put it on

Cant see how a cover can make the paint bubble up mate

You get what you pay for though, remember they are not cheap universal fits, it is tailed to fit the exact car, what varient were you looking at? Also mine is lockable which I believe is essential (Although you do pay extra for the chain and lock but not alot )
