What should I be looking for and how much should I be spending.

With a second car looking quite likley in the coming weeks the Williams is going to be stored but unfortunatley I don't have a garage so it will sit on the drive for 6 days a week.

just been looking myself funnily enough had a halfords one and ok but noticed some rubbing of the paintwork so dont recommend the halfords ones so guess first something that is non abrasive after that it needs to protect against UV be waterproof and breatheable plenty around if you just google car covers as for cost thats determined by your budget you might want to have a look at this site

Yeh thats not cheap, but neither is fixing rust I suppose.

I am waiting for Tommo as I know he uses a car cover on his and has done for years and wondering which one he plumped for.

I used the Halfords Tyvek one for about 3 years, it was good but could leave a few marks on the paint work where it would rub. Unfortunately it blew off and ripped in high wind last year so I bought a Hamilton Classic Moltex cover from Tweeks and it's been good so far, it's a better quality material than the Halfords one and it has proper tie straps so they won't break in high wind and it doesn't leave any marks, it wasn't cheap tho, I think it was about £100 mate....

Stormforce: These are our premium quality 4 layer covers that can be used for outdoor use in any climates & weather or in the garage as a soft lined dust cover!

Exclusive UK designs for your particular model ensure that the cover fits snugly and elasticated hems and a unique detachable strap system is included for ease of fitment.



Welded seams are used wherever possible to maintain a watertight finish & double stitched seams are used for strength & long life.

Monsoon: These are sturdy covers that have been specially designed for outdoor, winter protection. The outer layer is robust yet pliable PVC and the cover is soft lined for maximum care of paint and body fittings.

Would you?

I mean, if they can't see it, I don't think traffic wardens are legally allowed to move anything blocking your plate, hence mopeds park in london with plastic bags over their plates and tax discs (apparently lol)
