Evening all, I was wondering if anyone on here owns/has owned one the cover zones' car covers? What are they like? Good quality and worth the money?
If anyone has the stormforce one especially that would be helpful as that's the one I'm looking at.

Many thanks

I have the Indoor Dust Cover (Sahara) and its well made and a good fit, mines garaged so only the light weight one needed. Well made and easy to put on.

I've got the a series spares one and I Can't recommend it enough, I moved to a new house and had to build a garage and the a series cover sorted me out a treat and help preserve my project until it could be dry stored again.

I have the Stormforce one from Cover Zone - highly recommend getting one. Just make sure the car is clean before you cover it up as you could risk scratching the paint.

Same here. My stormforce has kept the bodywork is decent condition for 2 winters, despite cats clawing holes in it. I reckon I'll get one more winter out of it. £100 or so for 3 years protection is a bargain IMO.

I also have a stormforce and I love it

[Samwise777]

Okay I'm really glad to hear good things !! I ended up buying one last night for £100 which felt painfully expensive at the time but I'm sure it'll be well worth it as I want to keep my mini in decent nick. Does it fit well? Easy to secure? Thanks

You'll see that £100 as money well spent.

It fits like a glove and is very secure. In fact I've never bothered with the securing straps as it fits so well.

Haha, I had the same problem with cats. Ours seemed to love sleeping on it and sharpening their claws.    It's safe to say my cover is looking a little worse for wear at the moment. 

 

I also don't bother with the straps because I take the cover on and off too often (even keep it covered all summer to stop paint fading + bird poo etc), and it fits perfectly.

I've been looking at getting one of these. Is the extra money for the stormforce over the voyager worth it?

I haven't owned the voyager but I would say go for the Stormforce - you can't beat it.

Hi Guys,

 

I'm looking for a cover too.  Just bought my first mini and looking to keep it cosy on the drive over the winter.  I'm looking at the Cover-Zone covers and also the Hamiltons Classic covers (http://www.hamiltonc...thableSoft.html).  Much the same in terms of price.  Has anyone used the Hamiltons covers?  How do they compare?  Trying not to get drawn into the marketing mumbo jumbo and get an idea of what actually does the trick!!

 

Cheers

I've got no experience of the Hamilton ones but I honestly can't see how the stormforce can be bettered. It fits perfectly, even having little pockets for the mirrors and works brilliantly.

I'd be interested in knowing what the alternatives are like but you'll be delighted with the stormforce.

[Em_the_Ghostie]

I think I'm gonna go for the Stormforce cover seeing as so many have recommended it here.  Where do you guys recommend to buy it from?  Mini Spares seem to be reasonable price wise.  Anyone seen it cheaper than £120 or have recommendations of places to try?

 

Cheers,

Em x

Got mine from mini spares and can highly recommend it. It's just about to see me through my second winter and I can't recommend it highly enough. Nice snug fit, no need for extra straps, easy to put on with one person, has cute little 'ears' for the wing mirrors
