Cheap Indoor Cover?

Post by tomoz4white » Sat May 27, 2023 9:59 am

Has anyone got one, who would recommend?

Every time, I go to the garage to get the car out there are spots and spots of 'fly poo' on the car. They like white cars🙄

Time to order some more fly dropping spray but the cover will keep them at bay...

Any recommendations?

I’ve got the Cosmos indoor cover (medium size) in green and its amazing. Well worth £50 when I bought on eBay.

😂 I think the amazon one for £31 quid in black wins this debate. The flies can deposit what they want and i wont see it💪

Looks like it fits well! :thumbsup:
Don't really see the advantage in expensive indoor covers; at the end of the day they are a big teabag with a bit of elastic at the bottom.

PS the little black dots are as likely to be spider shite as flies. I have a white car in the garage and those little arachnids are a nightmare! :|
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I had a Cosmos one when I had the E89 and it was excellent. Foolishly I let it go when I sold the car. Having seen how cheap they are at Amazon at the moment I have ordered a green one for the E85. Great value. :thumbsup:
