IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

Halfrauds car cover #1519830 31/12/2014 16:35 31/12/2014 16:35

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 😕

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?
