Hi guys,

I need to get a tailored or custom car cover for the GTR. I want one preferably cotton or with a flannel inner to protect the new paint from dust and shit whilst it's garaged. Doesn't have to be water proof but it may as well be.

Anyone know of a place in sydney? and any experience with them, or prices?

thanks.

use some of that spray on latex you have in your bedroom

Hahahaha

Richard, i saw one at Supercheap for $25 or so that fits my GTR well, but its not water proof

I know its not ideal, but ive got a heap of fabric ready to stich onto it so the underside is very good for the paint - may look like shit but it will work

I had a look for a cover exactly like you suggested but couldnt get anything that i liked

Hope that helps

I'm using an Autotechnica one from K MART (think it usually goes for about $130). I just use it in the garage but it would be great outside also as it is very thick plastic / pvc and is then lined with some type of material similar to flanellette. Covers the whole car to the ground.

I will give them a call.

Years age we were looking for a place to buy a cover for the old man's Audi, which only gets used around once or twice a fortnight, we ended up using a few old flanelette fitted bedsheets sewn together, which works a treat. The car is always indoors, so we don't have to worry about wet weather protection anyway.

And now I find out that this place is LITERALLY around the corner from us... Might have to go and check it out.

The same place Richard is talking about? Small world!

I have one of these and I think it's great. Anyone that knows me knows how anal I am about paint and scratches too.

I bought it when I had an integra (so it's the small version, doesn't fit the 'line.. doh!).

It has a soft lining on the inside, is waterproof, and has breather holes with "flaps" to stop the rain from getting in, and stop condensation underneath the cover.

Car covers are a pain though. Do not EVER put a car cover on a car that has a warm engine... anyway, I'm sure bb knows that.

The Autotechnica covers are also available at Repco.

thanks wil, i will check those out. I am pretty set on a tailored one though, I just want it to fit perfectly. but i'll have a look anyway.
