Default Car covers

Where is the best place to source a decent quality, waterproof, newage impreza car cover? I want one with a decent weight to it that will last. I have no spoiler so a general sized impreza one would do. I bought one last year off ebay that was supposed to be good quality & heavy duty but when it arrived it was like tracing paper thin & turns out it was not waterproof as stated!

What have you got?

Someone on here earlier was asking the same. The Ultimate Finish.com do nice ones, pricey at around £300, but do look the business. They have a demo video on thier website covering what I think is either a P1 or a 22B.

Look like they also offer a sample of the material used.

Both Fud, that's why it needs to be waterproof. It's for a project that will live outside whilst being stored.

£300 may be on the steep side

I have one of these, fits a treat and it is water proof, although it is worth popping off every couple of weeks as it doesn't seem to breath too well.

I'm using mine to protect the car while I do a load of engine mods over the winter so it'll be on and off plenty

I've seen yours Fud, on the 22B, and if my car was that valuable/rare I'd have one too

I had mine from "Cover Zone" and to be fair I am happy with it, very good quality with 2 nylon straps to secure it under the car, mine is a light weight indoor cover but they do a whole range of indoor and outdoor covers, comes in a nice bag as well it cost me £65 which I think is reasonable..

Here is a pic for you..give them a try they were very helpfull to me..
