:) Hi,

I don't know if you can get a custom one for the Corrado but I bought one made by "Cover Systems"(UK) off the Internet which is outdoors and breathable; comes with a central strap and tabs at front and rea for bungees if neede and access when on to both doors. Cost around £100. Try their website at www. "Cover Systems".

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks people..HAHAA, thats not a coolrado, thats a sub-zerado.

Its more for blanket purposes as the cars garaged anyway, shame u cant get corrado fitting one.. just want something to put on my x-mas list from the beatch.

I got one from lidls last year a fiver cured it !

 

the corrado is always garaged with a blanket over the engine,she treats it better than she treats me.

Me too. Never out of the place. What about the combination spanner set (chrom/vanadium) for £1.49 or something - unbelievable.

:)Apologoes for the bad link. Try "www.cover-systems.com".

As for a cover £5 from Lidls, try leaving the cover on with the car outside in the rain and see how much condensation builds up under the cover rusting away at out pride and joys bodywork. I'd recommend a "breathable" cover; like anything else you pays your money and takes the your choice.

Cheers,

Phil

Dead right Phil. The covers over our garden furniture :oops: are similar and collect condensation which drips downwards - you have to remove cushions, mattresses, etc, to prevent them being soaked.

I only got my Lidl cheapo as a dust cover for in the garage, though.

Hi Marcus

 

You can get a custom fit car cover for your C from Specialised Car Covers in West Yorkshire, there not cheap at £165.00 +vat & del :shock: but they are good covers which are made from Webflex-TLP.

you only put it on overnight and remove it thru the day,its not designed for over winter storage,just to keep the frost off the car overnight Or Snow !

when its removed its hung on the washing line to dry it off again

I havent tryed shoving it in the gas tuble dryer yet !

 

if its over winter I would suggest renting a garage or a container.

 

anyway like I said,her car goes in the garage,the poor mitsubishi stays out in the snow

i tried a cover systems one and sent it back.....theyre designed to let water in :( which seems pretty usless for a car cover!!

 

i now use a meduim size tyvek from ha;fords of all places.....almost a perfect fit and it doesnt let water in and still breathes..£65 at halfords, be aware any cover is only suitable for use on a clean car,any dirt may scratch it

[StuartFZR400 0]

Do these covers have a soft lining?

 

As im only guessing, but i had the notion that one of the cheapo Halford covers would simply wear a 'Rub' mark onto the car bodywork. Right / wrong?

I had one of the expensive £65 jobs from Halfords and it was brilliant. It was made from DuPont Tyvek and was completly waterproof and also breathable so you dont get condensation. It was also silver in colour so it reflected the sun in the summer and kept the car cool. The back of it was sufficiently soft not to scratch the car either. I used it to keep tree sap off the car when I lived in my old flat.

[steveo29 0]

the halfords ones dont have a lining....fits s well it doesnt move even in high wind, mine didnt budge in a god storm wothout straps

its doesnt look like its that great....but it does its job very well

 

beacuse its not much thicker than paper you can give it a good shake and its nearly dry.

[G60Jet 1]

mines got a soft linning almost like thin cotten wool

[marcus 0]

And where did u purchase that G^)JET....My cars actually garaged all the time so the cover is 4 dust and warmth purposes.

[G60Jet 1]

its an OEM one!!
