Car Cover Carry On

[db scoob]

Hi there folks!

I have decided to get a full waterproof, breathable etc car cover for my pride and joy this winter. The car is a daily driver but I want to keep it safe from the elements and ease removal of frost, snow etc.

I measured the WRX and it comes up at 14 foot 2 (or 432cm in modern terms) so I happily ordered a cover up to 14'2" but this proved to be too short - I think its my STI style spoiler thats causing the problem.

I then ordered one up to 15' but it still comes up short! I am fed up returning and re-ordering so decided to come to the Forum for some advice.

There is another cover available up to 17'6" but now I am doubting myself and unsure about ordering yet another useless cover.

I dont want to spend too much on it - the ones Im looking at are around £40-50.

Would anyone be able to recommend a cover or a place to buy the cover that would definitely fit?

Any recommendations would be great, thanks.

I looked for a cover a while back but didnt see any at that price. Scoobyworld sell them but are quite a bit more expensive. I didnt get one in the end so it will be interesting to see if anyone here has one. Have you seen these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-Turbo-93-01-Waterproof-Breathable-Protection-Car-Cover-L-/261290830376?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

What about halfords advanced covers.

Hi there - thanks guys for the quick replies (im a poet now!) - anyway

Scoobiefloz - I saw the one on Amazon exactly the same as the ebay one you recommended but it does look like a Focus in the photo and I had doubts about whether it would fit over my spoiler and would then have to be returned at cost so thats a maybe.

Johned - I hadnt thought on Halfords so had a look and there are some good reviews on the website for their covers, it would be easier to return and swap too if necessary so that could work for me.

Will let u know .... watch this space.

There's a Subaru cover appeared on gumtree, search under Subaru Northumberland, or. https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-part-accessories/subaru-inpreza-2001-2007-waterproof-car-cover-/1138755528 Any use?

Thanks for that ccrien - had a look, it looks a good quality one. Will have a think and see what works best for me, Im not short of options now.

It looks like my bugeye's gonna have a coat for the winter after all ....

I have a very nice custom cover for mine, fits like a glove. Paid about £180 I think if my memory serves me but worth the extra for a proper job. You have to tie the damn things down properly in the wind else the movement causes issues with your paintwork.

If only I could remember the name on the bloody thing. It's at home as I didn't bring it out with me due to space on the return journey.
