JamieP Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I would buy a stormforce as you know it wont damage the paint, then put a big cheapo one right over the top to cover the wheels, something thats designed for a huge car like a bmw 7 series.

Matt H Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I've got a Halford's Advanced Car Cover. The Extra Large (Estate Cars) fits my supra. I've been using them for years, but I bought a new one last night as my current one is rather dirty - £69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's the price for a new one. On the back of the packet there's a load of Jargen about the cover and one aspect of it says it's designed to let the paintwork breath and also not damage it abrasively (altough it shouldn't be used on vehicles painted within the last 3 months). It's also gives UV protection during summer. There's a sample of the material on the outside of the package it comes in. I've never had an issue using it and that's considering my paint work isn't the cheapest being HoK. Only thing I would say however, is be careful with the buckles. Don't pull hard on them, always extend them properly as they have snapped off on me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 ok nice one thanx a lot mate .... so it fits right over yours and all the way to the floor all the way round? Yep, only just though - it doesn't sag on the floor. Around the front and rear the cover is elasticated so it holds underneath the front and rear bumpers. On a side note, have you looked into Wheel Covers? They are like normal car covers but simple go over your wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using them for years, but I bought a new one last night as my current one is rather dirty - £69 Hi Matt I bought one of these Sat night - but it doesnt go all the way to the floor it covers the car length wise but its not wide enough at the back with the spoiler so the bottom part of the rear alloys are showing!! also, the straps are really sh!t - it below off last night as i could only fasten the rear strap - how did u get round this mate??

Dnk Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Would it be wise having it go all the way to floor ? im just thinking it could pick up grit off the floor then scratch your paintwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 good point, but id like it within an inch or so - to cover the wheels up.... ...not sure what to do now to protect the wheels, cant find wheel covers on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
