Mini Cooper Car Covers

I'm looking for a cover for my convt. 05 S. I like the looks of the one that is shaped like the mini but am having a hard time finding one. Any ideas where I might find one?

Thanks

Indoor or outdoor ?

I have a 2-car garage so I've used a car cover on our 05 MCS Convertible for two+ years now.

I've had the Moss MINI car cover, fit well but didn't keep all the rain out, even when it was new.

I've had the best cover offered by Bavarian Autosport, didn't fit well but did a great job of keeping the water out... for about 20 months and then it lost it's waterproofing.

I just ordered the best car cover offered by Cover King. It's their "Storm Proof" cover. They say it's not like other covers in that the waterproofing is not applied to the fabric after it's made, it's part of the fabric. Supposed to keep it's waterproof abilities for its life. We'll see.

The Cover King Stormproof cover has had some good reviews here on NAM. Use the search tool to read up.

Stormproof is great stuff - very compact and yet suitable for extreme conditions. As mentioned above, this is not a 'treated' material but the properties are inherent to the material - water resistance will never wear out. The material is like a single layer windbreaker material - and won't damage the finish as long as the car is clean.
