Default Winter car cover

I'll keep it simple.

Can anyone recommend a QUALITY brand/manufacturer of car cover without resorting to buying OEM from Honda?

(have searched threads but found no decent advice)

Thanks a mil

How much do you want to spend?

Indoor or outdoor?

Sorry, outdoor. Cost wise I guess no more than £100, but I'm all too aware that you pay for what you get and don't want to end up with grit working through and grinding the paint for months on end.

The best covers cost more than your budget.

However, I've read good things about Classic Additions covers, which are more reasonably priced:

Thanks Chris.

Everything I've read tells me youre right. A good cover seems to start from around £200+ I just hoped someone had found a 'bargain' somewhere!

I'll certainly have a good look at your recommendation though - I've just spent a bung on paint correction and can't garage the car over the winter as I'd planned.

Thanks Chris for the link

My S sits on the drive and I use it everyday. I'm going to go for the half cover its only about £44, it will at least protect the roof and hopefull save me having to scrap the windows of frost in the morning!

Take a look at the following link. I do not know if they can post to UK. But the car cover they make is excellent quality (indoor-outdoor) with cotton inside to avoid scratching, thermal glued even in the mirror parts so it is completely waterproof and it fits your budget. I have the same one and it is a perfect fit with elastics at the bottom so the cover stays on the car even in the worst windy conditions.

I just ordered one from the link that Chris provided. £97 delivered.

I'll get some pictures up when it arrives. It was an Outdoor option A with a semi tailored fit to suit the S2K.

Should I have been eligible for a discount when I bought my cover from classic additions, or is that just for S2KUK members?
