Hi Chris

I've been very pleased with my "Voyager Lightweight Indoor/Outdoor Car Cover" purchased from http://www.sevenspeed.co.uk/car-covers.html

I wanted an indoor only cover for use in the garage, so originally was after the "Indoor Car Cover" but following advice went for the above cover as apparently the indoor only one is very thin. I actually tour with the cover now and use it at night instead of the tonneau since it packs down really really small in a compression sack.

Good luck
Mark

Depends on how much you want to spend also.

I asked a similar question elsewhere a little while ago and these were recommended :

I have the voyager cover from sevenspeed as well. I am very happy with it. Just make sure that you work out how to fasten it securely if this is very windy. Mine didn't stay fully on as I only used one fastening.

yes just put cover on see photos, not as tight fitting as I thought it would be, but appears to be good quality material

With the difference between various 7's of items like mirror location, roll bar, roll cage etc it was decided not to make the cover too tight
Hope you are pleased with it Chris
Mine was used in some serious storms last year on the Isle Of Man and kept 95% of the torrential rain out

So far so good. It's a very soft material ...and a sewn in label saying "FRONT" :-)

Fits very well..only issue I had initially was knocking the mirrors so had to re-set them a couple of times but just a few attempts at putting it on and I don't think that will be a problem.

If you want more photos or any other info, let me know
