I have one, I think it is a medium? It doesn't quite fit over the front valance but it keeks the weather out nicely. Well worth the money, I'd recommend.
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

i went for a large halfords advanced cover - it fits right down under the rear chrome bumper and down the front valance to the base (bumper has been removed as its being restored) but its quite stretch so think it would go over a complete car easily enough

bit baggy over the windscreen but the rears screens good - id also recommend it

Thanks for your replies, would it be the all weather one which sells for a touch over £50
As am a bit concerned about it scratching the car even after its been cleaned dried as recomended

Yes and my car has never been scratched by the cover, as far as I can tell anyway.
The material is quite soft for a car cover.

I've got one I've used with no issues on my Golf, just make sure your car is clean and dry before putting it on.
