Hi all, I’m interested in purchasing an Alpine A110 and I’m worried that it’ll get filthy when parked on the driveway.

I’ve had a look around for outdoor car covers specialised for the A110 and they seem few and far between. Are there any specific ones that you guys have had experience with and can recommend?

Hi. I've got this one and can't fault it. I thought it was a generic cover when it arrived because there's nothing to say it's specific for an A110, but it does indeed fit perfectly.

The centre strap can be awkward. It goes underneath the car, so you either have to try flicking it across the ground or lay out a bungee cord before parking up, clip it into the strap snap end, and pull it across, which it what I do.

Where are you in the UK Nathan ?.

I have a generic one that fits perfectly which I adapted with a curtain bungee.

Purchased an outdoor carton this year, so don't need it.

I've posted this pic before: this cover was available from Alpine three years ago...

Thanks for the link AL - I was hoping for a more specialised one that just wraps the car without a bungee cord in all honesty. Might take up your offer tho Paul - would be happy to drive to wherever to collect.

I’ve seen that one crop up before LE62NDE but always thought it was an indoor car cover. You don’t happen to know if any are still available? I’ve asked at multiple Alpine dealerships and then never mentioned that one.

Hi Nathan

I have a genuine tailored outdoor Alpine cover which I was about to advertise for sale.

It doesn't really need straps, but when I used it for my first A110 I found it sometimes rode up a bit during high winds, so I have two bungee straps which clip onto the corners and run under the car just behind the bumpers.

Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers, Clive.

Hey Clive. Yeah I'd definitely would be interested if it's a specialised one and luckily East Sussex isn't too far from myself.

I honestly just need to purchase an Alpine first which'll hopefully be soon but I can reach out once I have to see if you've still got it.

That looks good value for a custom, what one did you go for Premium or ultimate?

Hi N.W; Sorry I was a bit slow off the mark in replying.

My outdoor car cover is for sale as per the above FB post, should anyone be interested (no longer needed).

Thanks,

Paul
