I am going on holiday soon

The annoying bit is that the scoob is going to be parked under a tree for 2 weeks.

I don't want want it to get covered in sap and poo so I thought about getting a car cover.

As I am only going to use it once I don't want to pay a fortune, but at the same time I don't want something nasty that scratches the body.

I guess the cover will need a lining to protect the car. I was wondering about looking at halfrauds covers.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

forget halfrauds covers esp if you've got a dual zone prox.

Would spend a bit more money m8

Nicci,

I bought a cover a couple of years back from a company advertising in the back of Autocar (next day delivery & all). Can't remember what they are called now but they do prestige covers for Ferrari's, Bentley's, etc.

Mine cost about £130 and was money well spent. Its fully lined on the inside, has air pockets over the scoop to let the car breath, spring-loaded hooks at each corner to hold it down to the car, and can be tied down and padlocked using a plastic covered steel cable and lock through centrally located tie eyes.

This thing has been a godsend as I can't get the car into the garage.

Not sure if you want to pay this much but you definitely get what you pay for.

Cheers.

Can you get any more details WB - as I was looking at one that was bout £300 but cant really justify (afford) that amount at the moment!

Nicci

I can't justify spending over £130 for just 2 weeks use, let alone get a custom car cover delivered before I go away.

Does anyone know of anything I could use to protect the paintwork apart from another layer of wax?

Thanks for the advice so far.

...not that they do Impreza covers, but see the "Free Cover Offer" if you want to donate your car to be measured up!

I got some sample material from them for an indoor cover and it look pretty good.

PS someone is often selling these on eBay, cheaper than the quoted prices - it might even be the same people

Tony,

Sorry mate but I can't give any more detail than I have. It was a couple of years back now.

Nicci, not sure what else to advise. Is there no one who can offer you a garage for the car while you are away?
