Custom Club Lupo car covers?

[mk2]

Hi all, just been talking with a UK based company who can make us quality car covers that will last more than one winter (unlike the chinese stuff). Buyers will be able to simply buy direct from them; and they make to order, in a selection of colours. The material we're looking at is heavy duty tarp, the same stuff used in curtain slider lorry sides. Heavy and very tough. Will last a very long time.

No talk on price yet, but we're just looking at ideas right now... here's a sketch I put together. One piece, folded and sewn and taped together. My idea is a felt pad or something to place where the antenna mount goes (you need to unscrew the aerial). Fold in the wing mirrors. Eyelets around the folded seam edge. The whole thing held down by paracord or thin rope. Or whatever you like.

It's not a fleece lined thing, as they tend to trap moisture and condensation (although beneficial to reduce wind movement scuffing of the corners). So the idea is that before fitting, the car is completely clean and dry. Should stay that way.

Any more ideas or improvements to this idea? What's wrong with it? What would you be prepared to pay? Any particular features or extras?

This isn't a universal car cover. It is specific to Lupo/Arosa and a perfect fit.

I had a cheap ebay one which was fleece lined and did stay totally dry, but ripped off twice in moderate wind, the second time it was so damaged it couldn't be salvaged. I quite liked that it had a zip so you could get in the drivers side if needed without taking the thing off.

I'm defintely intererested as even the smallest covers are way too loose on a Lupo, probably prepared to pay up to £100 for something good quality and long lasting, or ideally, much less!!

Yes I'd be in for this , worth £100 or more to me to keep dry and clean, being so small imagine the products available too baggy and maybe not very good?
