Need a cover to protect it when it is at the beach. Advice would be appreciated from owners/users. Remember the beach is always windy and I do want paint left on the car.

 

I have the Coverking custom cover - fits very well and snug under the bumpers. Has an optional cable lock for underneath to keep it from blowing off (I didn't need this).

Available in a bunch of different materials - my objective was a cover for when I have to park it in the airport deck or overnight in a less than perfect space at a hotel, etc. I wanted something with maximum "ding" resistance - so I got the thick "coverbond" material - not very compact, but seems like it will resist some impact - or if someone lets their door bounce lightly against it... But they make lighter, softer, more compact materials too.

But the key is the fit - with I think is excellent.

 

that's a hot "s" RC

 

Thanks, that's what's so wonderful about all the MINI's, they are all cool.
