I know, not cheap is it! That's why I was wondering if it was any good, or what it did that other covers didn't?

If it's an outdoor cover you need and you don't want a loose fitting plastic cover wearing away your paint and moisture being retained that leaves water marks over your paint then that's really about the cheapest one you can get. I had one and it was pretty good for protecting the car over a few winters. Only thing is it's tailored for rev1-4 spoilers and didin't fit too well with the rev5 at the back.

I would steer away from cheap, poor fitting covers as you'd be better off without anything at all IMO.

It's the whole 'breathable isn't waterproof' and vice versa that I can't get around.

My car is outside, I've just fitted Rogue fans and noticed straight away that the engine is getting wet, and my boot leaks :(

Want a waterproof cover, but heard that fully waterproof can do more bad than good for the paint?!
