Any thoughts?

Need something to keep the car protected outside over winter, have up to £100 to spend.

Would like it to fit well and do the job.

Cheers,

Tom

But just typing Peugeot 306 car cover on google comes up with a load for about £20/ £30 etc - cant vouch for any though as never used one myself.

It protected against all sorts of weather but it appears to be the new favorite thing for cats to claw, pretty much ruined Sad Have emailed the company to get their thoughts, they should really look at changing the design if the soft touch is so attractive to cats Doh
