Car Cover for Prelude

Post by Dino » Fri Aug 14, 2015 9:17 am

Hi all,

There is the possibilty that I may need to store my new prelude outside for a short while.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent car cover from?

Possibly a cover that is wool lined or of some mayterial, so that it does not scratch the paintwork on the car when under cover and it also needs to be weather proof.

has anyone had one made, bought off the shelf of a quality item?

I expect a cover will be approx £200-300??

Any advice on suppliers will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Marc

@vtecmec pointed me at a place he got a fitted cover for his lude.
I've bought one from them for the 3g I've just had back from the body shop, but can't find the link atm! :facepalm:
They do several different types of cover, depending on what use you want to put them.
Hopefully mec will be along to point the way, or I'll find the correct link...

Found the receipt in my e-mail...

http://www.coveryourcar.co.uk/store/home.php?cat=258

I went for a 'voyager' because it was primarily for indoor use in the barn to keep crap off (so doesn't need to be a storm force type cover :D) but might occasionally get wet.

(Ignore the fact that it doesn't look like it fits well - the car is missing all the trim, including bumpers, mirrors, boot spoiler etc. under that!)

You might want the Advan-tex version?

They're all under your £300 budget limit :D



:think: looking at it now though, I think they might have sent me a sahara cover instead? :? will need to look more closely at the weekend... :think:

Raceglaze sell them. Possibly one size fits all though. The chap from Raceglaze is called Mark, might be worth giving him a ring? http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/car-covers/outdoor-use/

Fair play for covering up that ugly 5th Gen front end.

A 5th gen has never looked so good when its covered up... ;) :D
