Unfortunatly I can't keep my recently restored nova garaged. It sits on the drive but I want to get a cover to keep off any nasties!! Can anyone reccomend a decent car cover... are the ones from halfords any good? They also have a premium cover called 'Tyvek'.

Thanks :)

The ones from Halfords (Tyvek) are very good as they are line with a material, i used one of these for quite a while, starting to look tatty now though as i was using it on my shell and it got a bit ripped on rough edges when i was cutting rear panel and stuff out. Will be getting a new one soon.

Ive got a Tyvek one also. Quite good, breathable techy fabric & comes with a bag & elasticated under body straps etc.

If its just for indoor/garaged use I'd be tempted to go for a cloth one. Theres a few advertisers in back of exchange & mart & TOP Gear mag.

I had a halfords one, kept my hatch undercover during the week when I used to use the saloon. Bear in mind the wind easily gets under them so you might want to use additional fixings (I used 3 additional ropes).
