Default Decent car cover for a 3 door?

3 door has been kicked out of the garage for the foreseeable future to make way for a couple of my other cars that its more important are inside, so wouldnt mind getting a car cover for it as it only gets used now and then anyway.

Anyone got any recomedations, as obviously dont want one that will cause condensation or anything like that.

i got one from a for dair 2 years ago which wa excellent - dual layer, etc. cost 80 quid too

then when i was storing the cover in the garage a fookin mouse decided to gnaw his way through it - still havent found the little cnut

Gonna need to get another one for the winter months. There was a group buy on the RSOC with similar covers but with pockets for the wing mirrors which is ideal.

Dont have details but if you come across em let me know

100 quid is ok, surely size d (says it will cover a E class merc) is big enough even allowing for the big gay 3 door spoiler?

Type C says it does a scooby which is an equivalent size really.

Dont want it all loose and sloppy fit like when Ran borrows a condom off his far more largely hung brother.

Just phoned up and ordered the ligthweight one (you were right, its size E), as they reckon thats better if you use the car fairly often as unlike the heavy duty one you can put it on the car when its wet.

96 quid after RSOC discount of 10 quid, so thats not too bad i guess, although its a fair bit dearer than argos for whats probably the same thing

Exactly the same thing but from argos is 39.99 instead of over a hundred quid from that website

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...lickfrom=image

I just wouldnt feel happy buying something for my car from argos, but its probably just as good really!

hi guys, the one from argos doesnt fit & gets blown off in the wind unless you take the rear spoiler off!
if there is a one that fits properly for outside use let me know.

wing mirrors
compelte roof section with sun roof
dash/clocks
headling
seats
carpet
transmission tunnel
door cars
towing eye
front bumper
rear bumper
sideskirts
arches
escos wheels
brakes
engine
t34 + greens
L8 + loom
headlights
foglights
suspension
anti roll bars
bonnet/vents
abs system
fuel pump
fuel pressure regulator + fuel rail etc
inlet manifold
exhaust manifold

And a few other bits and pieces.
