Car Covers

I need to get a car cover for my Mini S.
Everywhere I look seems to be pretty pricy.
Anyone know of a good place to get one from
(that's not total crap)?

Thanks!

United-States Yup...

Try www.myminiparts.com for a great outdoor use cover. Another choice would be www.mossmini.com. There are others but the prices hover in the same vicinity.

The 'trouble' with spending less on a car cover is that you usually 'get what you paid for'...

Spend a little more for quality now... and ostensibly you will pay less later on.



It is not how fast you go, but how you go.

i've got one...cant remember who makes it...i'll have to have a look...thing is i needed to cut it for the aerial and i'm nervous of using it if its windy and the car is dusty/dirty because of the rubbing that can occur....but it does keep it clean overnight after you've cleaned it

Thanks!

Try OutMotoring in Ohio. They have OEM covers (indoor & outdoor) at great prices.
