Default Car covers

Im after an outdoor one so are any of you using one? Cheap but good would be best!
Did have one for my tvr few years back but the straps broke and it used to 'balloon' under heavy windy conditions

Good point... I forgot the P1 is only a 2 door , may not be a snug fit after all.

How much shorter in length are the two door editions??

I wouldn't think it would make any difference as a 2 door is no different in size to a 4 as far as I know?

Both 2dr and 4dr are the same wheelbase/length, so can't see any reason why a 4dr cover won't be fine.

Looks good, plus makes it a little more discreet to passers by.

The stormforce 4-layer one is pretty damn good, and tailored too.
