Car Covers>?
« on: 25 September 2008, 16:42 »
Anyone have a cover for their GTI? I'm seriously tempted!

Dont want to pay through the nose for one either. Got any ideas?

Like most things Wob you only get what you pay for, your looking at about £100 for a top quality one  :smiley:

The only thing I can say about car covers is put money into a good breathable one and ensure you allow the car to breath when its a nice day..well as nice as it gets in Britain :laugh:
When I looked into this for the cab, there are quite a few different types you can buy depending on the room you have and money you want to spend..
The few different "types" I can think of off the top of my head are;

Elasticated cover - full and part covers available - cheapest ones are NOT good for your car, the bet, like C said are around 100 quid and usually made up of three layers
Metal structured one - this covers the car but doesn't actually touch the car allowing the air to flow freely - also can be bolted to the ground, obviously for bad weather..
Inflatable car cover - basically you inflate, drive your car in - mega money and usually used by the concurs chaps/chapess'

Hope this helps :undecided:
