Hi, Iv'e just bought a cover for my beat and it fits like a glove.
It's waterproof on outside and fleecy inside so it doesn't scratch, also it's fully breathable material and tear resistant and at only £30 I didn't think that was bad. I f anyone wants more info give us a shout.

I took this last night, not ideal conditions - it was freezing.
Just a thought though - all covers are great to keep the car protected - but when your'e late for work and youv'e got to try and wrestle a big soggy plastic mass off the car without getting covered in snow/ice/rain/whatever, and then find somewhere to dry it off, it can be a bit daunting, but I manage.

Is it elatsicated on bottom or straps?

Did you buy it local or mail order??

I bought it locally and it seems really well made and quite easy to get on even on your own, a bit of a struggle to get it back in the bag though!
It has elastic at the bottom but it's not so tight that it would puncture anywhere, anyway I'm quite chuffed with it, especially
in this weather.
I'll be seeing the guy on sunday and see if there is any discount for quantity, I'll also weight mine to calculate postage etc
cheers

Sounds cosy! Might consider wearing it myself when it's not on the car!! :D

If you saw the nick nacks page from last month you will notice that there is a company that make high-quality knock offs of the Beat covers called Arcadia, they do the whole deal, from light weight at 8000 to heavy duty truck use for 15000. same silver finish, of course weatherproofed etc....

do they have built in wing mirror 'ears'?

thats about £37 to around £70. Cheaper than a garage i guess!

Do we know what the quality is like oz?
