Obviously it's not unbranded(!) but this made of a much more substantial material than other can covers I've had: more like neoprene. It fits the car closely (no flapping) and is waterproof.

The branding is very nice on both original Alpine covers I've seen, the one posted above and the one with the blue A symbol. I'd just prefer for it to be unbranded as would be using it for a low-key look on the driveway, although putting a cover on may ironically attract more attention.

I'm not sure how breatheable the Alpine covers are, considering the instructions say to not use it in sunshine/high temperatures, or for more than 7 days at a time. I think with using the car more over summer months it would likely be fine though.

It's an Alpine one: the dealer ordered one too many and gave it to me when I bought the car. I'm afraid I don't know the part number, and my local dealership has a ridiculous website that doesn't allow one to browse accessories: does anyone know if there's an Alpine web page with accessories on it?

As mentioned above, this cover is not meant to be left on for more than 7 days at a time, and whilst it seems to be waterproof, it isn't breathable. I tend to put it on when the car has been washed and dried as it keeps the dust and bird poo off; but the car is used several times a week so it doesn't stay on for long!

It's not a UK site, but this lists accessories; there is an unbranded car cover listed.

Well done - not only that branded cover but an absolute treasure trove of Alpine accessories...many of which might have been purchased if this page had been made easily available on the UK website! Some very tempting bits and pieces there.

It’s arrived, fits well for a generic cover. Is breathable and doesn’t flap too much in the wind, we are a little exposed here and have a prevailing breeze quite often.
