markh1 1 Posted September 24, 2012 heres mine I purchased from Halfords £50 needed something Asap as their was no roof on my car lol and its breathable and water proof Thanks for this - how strong is the fabric? Looks like yours is off the road so you have a degeree of security already - whereas mine will be on the road. M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crayford MK4 10 Posted September 24, 2012 yep mine is in the garage getting restored the material is pretty strong I did have a cloth material one on my other car and it didn't last just started tearing every where Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevewes 14 Posted September 24, 2012 I also use the Halfords one and have found it to be very good - beathable and keeps the car bone dry. The fabric seems to be very strong and it has lasted two seasons with no rips - only problem has been the two tie down straps which pass under the car to keep the cover anchored, one of which has pulled off.

carys1600e 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Hi, i bought mine from www.classic-car-carpets.co.uk then click on their link for the covers. i think i bought the stormforce one which was £130.00 for my mk5, they specially made it to fit round the door mirrors and it was extrmemly good quality and the man on the phone was extremely helpful. it was a good cover untill some a--ho-- came onto my drive in the middle of the night and nicked it about 7 months ago.

carys1600e 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Or maybe just a normal mk5 but saying that they would have probably used it to cover anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
