Hello hello,

I need some advice for my beloved, car, not girlfriend!
My car spends to much time on the driveway and at the moment l dont have a garage, so l need some advice about what full car cover l should buying.
I don't mind spending a couple of quid but l want to know that it is worth its money, protecting it from the elements and not scuffing the paint.
They all claim they are all that, but whats any good?

Can anyone help?

Cheers

I bought a second hand Covercraft cover. They are about £300 new, but was only £40 used. Very protective, very waterproof, even allows moisture to evaporate if you cover a wet car.

They are all tailored, so you may be waiting a while for an E30 specific one. Any similar size saloon one should be fine. Mine was for a Triumph Stag originally, fits perfectly.
