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:
