My cover for the poor girl has now fallen apart. Apart from Halfords wherelse could I get one from.

I got a couple from Argos called 'Resistance' (but spelt differently, can't remember how) for about £25 that seem to do the job. They do need strapping under the car to keep them on in high wind, but They're OK for me. Dave

These guys advertise in Sprint. I can't say anything about what they're like from my own experience. Probably worth a look though.... www.classicadditions.co.uk/

I got one from Classic Additions

www.classicadditions.com/lightweight_car_covers.cfm?CFID=8553874&CFTOKEN=55329617

The size B

Its not a bad fit, but the big problem is that it has elastic at the front and back and has a small strap that goes under the car. In strong winds it will not stay on as the elastic is not tight enough. In the end I bought some cargo straps and made one long strap that goes from the bottom of the drivers door under the car and back over to the drivers side, and also straps to go around each wheel. It now stays in place whatever the Irish Sea can throw at it.

My car in its modified Classic Additions cover. You cannot see the original strap as it is on the other side of the car, I don't bother fastening that as it about a 1/3rd thickness of the two main straps I've added.
