baz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 just ordered one, if i get it in the next day or two i'll get some pics up. baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Here are some pics for you! Received it the other day. It's a tight fit front front to back on mine as I have a Top Secret front bumper, Trial rear bumper and veilside arches. So it won't _quite_ go over the exhaust and a bit of the lip at the front sticks out. On a regular body kit I doubt you'd have that problem. The material wasn't as thick as I thought it might be (gf had a cover for her MX5 which was almost like a leather jacket!). However, should keep the rain out ... guess time will tell on that one.

michael Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 So it's "tailored" for a van with massive wing mirrors rather than a Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.weeks Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Perhaps, like ears, the wing mirrors get bigger the older the car gets? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Is the Voyager cover good enough to hold the rain out? Im really just after something that will stop the bird poo going on the car as well as leaves and rain! It says "water resistant but ive never trusted that statement!

fat_controller Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 i always imagined tailored to be quiete a snug fit, that looks a little baggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra_supra Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 i had one before although admittedly it was a cheap n 'will do the job for now' type BUT it didn't hug the underneith of the car very well n the slightest gust of wind sent it flying, i've looked at the pix but can anyone whos purchased one say what its like - does it hug the bottom of the bumpers etc fairly well??

michael Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 i always imagined tailored to be quiete a snug fit, that looks a little baggy Me too, looks like it could fit a Granada or an Escort van just as well as it does a Supra, more "draped over" that "fitted". I want one that fits over things snugly so it doesn't have areas where gallons of water can gather or the wind can use as a sail. Like this: http://www.astonmartinlongisland.net/Images/Picture/2006/April/lg_IMG_0935.jpg Or even: http://www.abmotosport.com/S1_full_car_cover_light_blue.jpg Or is this hard to do with the outdoor ones for some reason?

ultra_supra Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 nice find micheal, both those covers look a much better fit!!!! top one looks top quality!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 That Aston one is quality. Having previously had an outdoor cover I can say how annoying it is when they don't fit snugly. Mine constantly blew off the car in the wind and needed weighing down with bricks. The strap that went under the car was nigh on useless. Also the supposedly waterproof cover made the paint nice and wet leaving nice marks when it dried out. All in all I'm very cautious of these things now.

Paul Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I was considering one of the indoor ones for in the garage but not too impressed with the fit in those pics:( I wouldn't have the same issues with it taking off in high winds but it looks like I'd end up tripping over the excess material on those mirror parts when walking past it Wonder if the cheaper indoor ones are a better fit?

b.weeks Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 which one is that ben? StormForce, £132.95 Incl Vat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Will give feedback on rain protection - once it's rained :-) The fit is tight - especially on mine as non standard front and rear bumper. Their are two straps that go under the car. A little wind does sometimes get under the bonnet and lift it a bit. However, it hasn't come off yet (touch wood).

turbonut Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Question: is this lined so it doesnt scratch the paintwork if the wind sneaks underneath? Are the straps soft so they dont cut into the bodwork or, again, scratch?? sorry to be such a wuss but have heard they can do both over time. cheers Linda x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I don't really know how to describe the material, it's kind of a soft non-slip rubbery thing. Kind of liek material you might get to go under your army chair to stop it slipping on your wooden floor. I must admit I was hoping it was going to be a bit more heavy weight with a definitive inside and outside skin to it. As I say the MX5 cover had a leather-esk exterior and a soft felt interior. Don't have have the car with me here, but I think I recall the straps go underneath the vehicle, i.e. don't actually touch the side skirts (assuming no movement in bottom lip of cover which it does seem to fit snug there).
