In a desire to keep my Sprinty looking good, I decided to buy one of the covers from Coveryourcar The discount code had expired but an email got a fast response from Greg at company concerned. Not only has he reinstated the code but also gave me an alternative one which offered free courier delivery... Codes are: COUPESAVE (10% discount pre VAT) and 98989 which offers Free Courier delivery (Saving of £7.95). This has been discussed before fitted covers thread and I believe others have been happy. BTW there were allegations that this company was also COVERZONE . However one is based on Merseyside and one in Ilford Essex. I also believe Theresa knows Greg and can vouch for him? Anyway, I will be posting a review when it arrives... I went for the Yoyager for day to day use. BTW they are also on Facebook with lots of photos of their covers Mick

Well the cover has arrived and it's looking good. It fits nicely, relatively easy to fit(managed it on my own).
The fixing strap buckles come with silicon rubber covers.
The cover comes with a nylon bag to store it in.
There are a few creases at the moment but I expect them to drop out with use.
Very impressed, I will add some photos later

This shows the cover removed from the storage bag. Shows cover fitted from the front, I am hoping the creases drop out, though to be fair I probably will get better at fitting it in time. This shows rear view of cover, it fits over the M3 style rear spoiler. The rear is far less creased which leads me to suspect that I might be able to fit it better in future. I am pleased with the quality, it's soft inside and secures well to the car. All the outer seams are double stitched. I rushed photos using iPhone 4 if light is better tomorrow I will get the digicam out for more photos. So here are my findings: Pros1. Appears to be good quality. 2. Appears to be soft enough not to damage paint. 3. Relatively light and I was able to fit it myself. 4. It has two under body securing straps and they secure it nicely. I don't think this will "parachute away" 5. The elasticated hems at each end do a good job of ensuring the wind cant get underneath. 6. I consider that this does a good job of protecting car from the elements. 7. Has a two year warranty Cons1. Looks like car is in a condom. (according to a mate!) 2. Not entirely happy with the creases, although that might be down to me. 3. It feels lighter than I suspected it would, so the longevity and robustness will be reported back on. 4. I suspect that folding it up to go in it's back will be interesting! There is one small nagging concern, which I will hopefully get sorted tonight and will report back on then. Mick

Looks good, but:
1. How do you get in and out of the car? 2. How do you see where you're going? 1. I am in the car now 2. I don't like seeing where i am going, it scares me, so I drive by Braille!

Hi Mick
Glad you like the cover, thought I'd better be polite and ask if we may use these photos on our site?
The creases will fall out in about a week so dont worry about that.
Thanks again
Greg

Greg, no problem with the photos, though I can shoot some better ones and email them off to you should you want them...
And how comes Theresa gets to drive the Grale? What about your customers? (ie me!!) ;-)

Apart from the folding it up and sticking it back in the bag, I can see mine is going to be pretty well creased throughout it's lifetime LOL

I've got one of these covers, it's been used pretty much everyday for 3 years now and it's suffered no deterioration becasue of weathering and all straps and clips are still working and intact, it's a very good investment for any car owner  And yet you let my twenty quid special not only rip in the middle, but drift off into the trees! I dunno, don't get no respect...

Thought I'd revive this one, as I'm interested in an outdoor cover initially, and possibly an indoor one later.
Anyone know if the discount code is still valid?
Any further thoughts on the product/s for those who have had them a while?
