oh righto
sorry mates
im sure you can one anywhere, a mini's a mini, all sizes would engulf it
heres one for the BINI
http://www.miniclub.com.au/
look under private sales

im not too into car covers, anything on the paint would get pushed around and scratch it
but if you're putting it outside then it's a good idea for sun and water protection

There are actually extra small car covers available. We used to sell them with the VMCI club merchandise. I just can't remember off hand who made them. I will try and remember and get back to you.

The one pictured on the NSW Mini Car Club for the Bini are an indoor cover only. I have one myself. They are good, but very big, and are only made out of soft cloth.

The ones we used to sell were about $90 from memory. The people that bought them said they were a perfect size for a mini.

Well I'm not really sure what they were made of but haven't had anybody call me with a complaint. Have a good read of the box if you find them.

steve have you found about the scratching?
there are products out there claiming to not scratch,
eg. the mop that washes your car without water is covered in paraffin wax or something

i dont understand how they dont scratch.
if youve got particles on your car, and you move them, they will scratch
