Halfrauds car cover

Halfrauds car cover - 31/12/2014 16:35

Hi. As I am not using the coupe at the moment (declared sorn). I thought it best to keep the frost and damp off. The Vx220 is now in the garage. I brought a medium size car cover from halfrauds. It is breathable blah blah. Anyway it actually fits pretty well and is a good fit. Only 50 quid. I think the coupe will be up for sale in the spring unfortunately 😕

All mine live outside covered, I tie my cover to wheels so it don't blow away.

Great cover having seen the recommendations on this site. Sure you need to tie through the wheels but so far no dreaded frozen door locks and inside moisture.
Two thumbs up from me!!

Ive had the same one on for about 3 weeks now. Fits superbly well. But which way up have you put yours on the car? sounds silly but it really isnt obvious and google searching it brings up contradicting answers.
I ask because i removed mine over the weekend and the car was covered in condensation. Would this be considered normal and fine as its a breathable cover?

little white tag at the front should be showing outside the cover. The straps wrap from right to left (you face the car) and the clips on the left.

Thats good then, thats the way i had fitted it. Just alarmed me when i saw the condensation and made me question it.

Well I have just bought these at Halfords for £20. Ended up having 2.
One for the Coupe, one for the Cup.
They retail in store at £50 each.
I ordered one online to collect at £24. When I went to the store they informed me they had been reduced to £20.
Feeling really pleased laugh

Re: Halfrauds car cover - 15/03/2015 11:52

yeah, good tip smile

i had a look at them when they were full price and tried to see if a tradecard discount would apply - it didnt and there was no way i was going to pay 50 quid for it!

If it was that good a bargain perhaps you shouldn't call it Halfrauds - just saying
