Hey guys, wondered if anyone out there can get or recommend quality car covers in a size to suit a mini. Seems like the auto stores supercheap etc are no help in the extra small cover.

Cheers

Chris

Best I could find, and it is a bit big, is Autotechnica small. It's a bit baggy, but does a great job.

There's someone about who makes custom ones here in Australia that are apparently pretty good... (a search of ausmini should turn up the details ... )

I got mine from these people via a sale on eBay .... http://www.cover-zone.com/
Fit well and look pretty good.

Hi Chris,

Are you looking for an indoor dust cover or all-weather cover?

I think the best indoor ones are these:

Form fit and cut to the cars body shape. 8)

I've had a red indoor cotton cover custom made for my van in Perth by Chief Car Covers for around $300. Includes the Mini logo/badge on the front.

These covers come in a range of colours and are suitable for indoor and occasional (but not long term) outdoor use.

They will send you a sample of their cotton material, along with a brochure to give you a better idea of the type of material.

Nola does a great job - I have looked at many covers for mini's but these are the best available and Nola actually cares about what she delivers - call her 03 9703 2604

Have a patient who makes them also. Awesome quality around $300 for form fitting indoor cover made from fleecy material. Are piped along the seam and fit very snug to the car. WIll get you a pic. The embroidery is about $30 extra for Morris Cooper S MK 1 or MK 2 bonnet badge about 9 inches long, 4 inches high. Could do different embroidery if you supply the jpeg. Have one almost identicle on my lotus and looks, fits awesome. Mind you they retail for around a grand.. She has offered previously at that price to car club members so should do same price for yall.
