db scoob Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi - update on the car cover. I had a think to myself and decided to put myself out there and contact the seller on Gumtree as recommended by ccrien as it looked like it would be a good fit. I was a bit unsure as Gumtree is usually cash locally but I got in touch with the seller and put my faith in a scooby owner! He has been great and after arranging payment the cover arrived today and fits perfectly. So good news all round, and no frost/snow on my scoob this winter Thanks again ccrien, that worked well. And thanks guys for the other suggestions - the Forum is really helpful. Link to comment
neo gold Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Awesome!....but we want photo's of your polished scoob & one with its winter blanket on ok ?. Link to comment
db scoob Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Just working on that - took some recent autumn pics of the scoob , waiting on the weather improving for the cover pics (its raining again in Scotland, who knew!). Plus I just got new plugs on the motor today and its running beautifully - roarin like a lion! Seems faster too. Link to comment

stano4130 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey db scoob I am looking at getting a cover for my 06WRX to protect it from the elements this winter how much did the cover cost, and are there any more available. I see Halfords do a cover, but not sure if it fits. Link to comment
db scoob Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hi Stano, I did consider Halfords but wasn't sure about the fit. I got the cover on Gumtree second hand and there was only one - its a perfect fit including the spoiler and says it covers WRXs up to '07. It does sell new on Scoobyworld for around £80 - its good quality and lightish so easy enough to put on. To be recommended. I put it on tonight cos its freezin fog tonight here and was frosty this morning. Hope this helps. Oh, I should have added its a Voyager Impreza car cover if you're lookin for it on Scoobyworld or on Ebay - I think there was one there available for less when I last looked.

stano4130 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hey DB Scoob So I decided to finally purchase the Car cover. went to Halfords, which is about 10min drive away. they had the option of 4.6m and 5.2m length covers. I opted for the 5.2m XL which I thought would compensate for the rear spoiler. cost me £50, and with an option to return after 28days if I was not happy with the product I decided to give it a try. it fits nicely, little big, but it does have 3 straps for securing firmly around the car. 1 below the rear bumper, 1 below the front, and one in the middle. I know it can be a nightmare getting a cover for the scoob, so this is just another option for anybody looking to purchase a cover. Link to comment

stano4130 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 that's the look I was going for, very inconspicuous. except for the massive tail piece. Link to comment
