Pete Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Following on from this thread : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?342048-Anyone-here-use-a-CARCOON-garage&p=4219975#post4219975 Carcoon are offering club members 10% discount if we can get 5 members to buy one of their carcoons each (of any type) http://www.carcoon.com You will be dealing direct with Joyce at Carcoon who will manage a payment list. It looks like a size 4 should just fit the Supra, they do other sizes too. Standard prices for the outdoor variety are: Size 4 Carcoon 470cm x 200cm x 169cm £493.50 (currently in stock) -10% Size 5 Carcoon 505cm x 200cm x 169cm £538.50 - 10% Plus £19.20 shipping or £29.99 for the indoor Veloce as it's two boxes (one for the frame).

Jamesy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Pete might be worth calling them. I tried today and asked for a 20% discount but the lady was pretty strict on 10%. I am considering the size 5 to give myself 25cm room front and the same at the back of the cart to stop potential rubbing. Could you try her, maybe for 15% and see if 3 people is enough as she started at 3 then said 5 in a group buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Indoor Veloce looks good. Would be perfect for in a tighter garage as it uses the frame structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 What size you going for Probably the 4 as where it's going it won't get too much wind and I need the space. So: Greg (Sheefa) RSB Me Jamesy I'll give them a bell tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Try for 20% lol Or 10% and free postage be nice!! Gonna go for size 5 i think size 4 doesnt leave much room with doluck front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I spoke with Joyce who seemed to be quite used to dealing with such requests and wouldn't budge on discount or free delivery etc. At the end of the day they know they've got a market leading product so we're doing well to get 10% IMHO. She wanted 5 people min, but we can push her at 4 I believe. I need to give her a list of peoples full names and she'll mark them off her list each time we call up and pay - once we've all paid the goods will be despatched. Please PM me your full names for me to send her then we can get this rolling. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Might be worth contacting Demon Tweeks for a better price as they are offering the same prices as above on their website and iirc they offer free shipping but you have to phone and ask for that. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/covers-shelters/carcoon-evo-outdoor-car-storage-system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not far from me so I could even collect. - - - Updated - - - Really? That's superb.

Worth a go. I generally don't buy from DT as they do tend to be expensive. Right - so are we ready? I've only had one PM so far with your real Earth names!

jazz1 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Tip: Treat the cover regular with tent UV spray. Cover side mirrors every time. Keep away from bushes/trees. The Zip will last about 2 years before breaking in bits, so be gentle when zipping. Heavy snow will deflate the cover. These are the negative points otherwise a fantastic car cover.
