Car cover...

[unclejemima]

Is there a cheap car cover avail for our Beats? I park mine in the garage for the winter, and I would like to keep the dust off.
I guess a tarp would work just fine, or perhaps a generic "small car" car cover?
Anyone have any experience in this?

Old duvet cover cut open is just perfect for a dust cover:D.

Honda made a cover specially for the Beat.
Mine was in the boot when I imported my car :cool:
Look on the Jap auction sites, thet are readily available

Neat! Good tip barnee. Mylee, your pretty lucky to find that in your trunk. I'm sure that is worth a least a few hundred bucks.

I have not yet tried the Jap auction sites, as I'm not really sure how they work/language barrier. Do you any advice?

I use one of the car covers that are designed just to cover the glasshouse of a normal car. It has 4 big hooks, one at each corner, that are meant to attach to the wheel arches. The Beat is so small the cover goes from halfway up the bonnet to the trailing edge of the engine lid, and far enough down to cover the wing mirrors and door tops. The hooks are attached to the bottom edge of the rear bumper, and the front wheels. Mine isn't garaged(cos we don't have one), so it keeps the rain out of my leaky roof just perfectly. Hope that helps.

You will also need to sort out a go between to do your bidding/shipping.
There are a few companies, but you will need to check they can send to relevant country if outside UK.
