Need to get me an outdoor cover for the winter. Nothing too fancy (read dear) but no old truck haps or blankets cut to size either

Gordon,
I have mentioned this before so I have just cut and pasted but the advice still holds.

If you use a full car cover outside be carefull as any dirt on the car will be rubbed against the paintwork by the flapping / moving of the cover in the wind. This happened to my Dad, he left a cover on for a while and when he took it off the car looked as if it had been finely rubbed with wet'n dry all over.

i'm really lookin for one of the covers that's fitted on has a soft lining to protect the paint. I've seen them on the net at about £200, but i dont wanna pay anywhere near that.

I bought one off ebay for £55 - "Coverzone" that was 'custom'; fitted for an elise. I aint had a chance to fit the swine yet coz I want to wash all the grime off the car 1st - to ensure it doesn't look like its been wet n' dried!

For £55, I doubt you can go wrong - afterall, showercaps go for £60+

I got the coverzone one, nothing like as expensive as £200... unless they have put the price up but I doubt it. It fits great and the inside is nice n soft.

Any cove put on a "dirty" car can potentialy scratch it, nothing you can do about it mate..
