I have had bad experiences with cheap plastic crap which makes the car sweat. Believe it or not after lots of shopping around it was halfrauds that came up trumps with a 3 layer breathable cover, soft on the inside, seams on the outside, perfect fit and the car has been bone dry since.. paid £50 for the small version.

There are quite a few, can get quite pricey for a decent one, what's your budget? Found a few after a quick google but be sure they are multi-layer breathable ones or its pointless. Mine fits better than it looks as those pics were taken when half the panels weren't fitted.
I can't see why it wouldn't fit yours.

Awesome.....I saw another company making something similar... I really want something like this but they're just too expensive for me.... :sad:

The indoor ones from places like this are almost as much as mine... for suitable outdoor covers from these places they're like more than double what I paid.

I also have the one from halfrauds for my mk2 but I bought the medium size and it literally covers the entire car! had no problems with scratching or condensation build up and seems the car is very well protected! think it was 65 squids iirc! recommended!

if you have no budget you will be looking at a £300 custom cover then yes? :grin:
-
Cheers for the advice guys will go to halfords and have a look

I have a custom cover - they even asked whether it was big bumper or not. But it does cost - I paid 250. Breathable, soft inside and 100% waterproof.

Bit of a delay I know but this morning armed with little money I went to halfords and chose the small 3 layered cover come straight home and fitted it.. I was very shocked at how well this thing fits.. I haven't used any under car straps because it holds so snug and where my car is there isnt much wind.. It fitted straight over the big bumpers aswell which was nice..
All in all I 100% recommend this to anyone with a mk2 for £54.99 you cant go wrong :smiley:

Is it the mid grey perforated type? that is what I have, works and covers well, only downside being, the cover itself, leaves a very fine layer of dust on the car after removal, which is no problem to me, as I always go over the car with speed detailer, and Micro fiber cloth anyway...

yer yer its the greyish perforated one.. yer the dust doesnt bother me.. the only reason i got it was because i need to remove a couple of windows soon to treat rust and didnt want to leave the car 100% exposed..
