Post by: Snoopy on 18 September 2011, 18:37
Anyone remember whos this was and were they got it from. :undecided:

It belonged to FroGTi, Froggy, who has a dozen kids, a very sexy wife and who bought himself a Mazda, then a Jag. Something like that. Notice the Interlagos wheels peeping out.

Or like throwing a banana down Oxford Street.
Froggy lives in France and he's probably sold the sheath with his GTI.

It's spot on. It dosn't look as tailored as the one in the original post, but it covers the car right down to the floor, keeps the dust off and has even withstood some light items been put on in without leaving so much of a mark underneath.

I also have one of these for my Mk2  :smiley:

Got a different micro fibre one for the Mk5 which is a tighter fitter and slightly better quality, I will try to find where that one came from.

Form fit indoor covers are from here, but at a premium price I would imagine

^ Nice covers.

I like the idea of a car cover if your garaging your car or its sitting on your drive for a period of time. But as I use my car daily I really couldn't be bothered faffing around with a cover everyday.

My biggest worry would be a tiny piece of grit either gets inside the cover or is on the car. Can you imagine the damage that would do with such a tight fitting cover?

I must admit, they do look great though.

I'd agree 100% with that.

Mind you my garage is so small I would only be able to cover half of the car as the other half is tight up against the wall! If the mk7 is any wider than the mk6, as has been widely reported, there's not much chance of getting one in my tiddly orifice!!!

Put the cover on only after you have washed and waxed it!

Also, make sure you roll the cover up with it's inside facing in when it's not on the car. Don't put it on the floor etc. I'm paranoid about picking up a bit of grit with it.
