Car Cover Recommendations

What car covers do you chaps use on your CSL's?

I'm hoping to put the CSL into hibernation in the next couple of weeks, so need a decent outdoor cover, the car will then be moved into the garage in a month or so, so will be in a warm and dry place.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good outdoor / indoor cover?

Also, I'm assuming its safe to plug in a C-TEK or similar trickle charger under a cover? (sorry if thats a stupid question!)

Cheers

I use an indoor/outdoor breathable cover, mainly used for indoor but designed for outdoors enabling it to breath and prevent it sweating when the sun eventually comes out!

Cant remember what i paid, but its coming out @ £101.77 now.

I forgot how much of a bufty you were Alex!

I've heard VERY good things about the Classic Additions covers, I actually have an older Halfords one that is good but I'm sure there's better

I use a specialist Car Covers indoor one.

No complaints so far and had it for almost 2 years.

That does look like it fits well Mark, is it ok for outdoor use as well?

I've heard that putting a cover on outdoors isn't great as the wind can move the cover around (even a little), leading to rubbing.

Has anyone found this, or is it an old wives tale?
