how do everyone...
as the title suggests, i am looking for a tarpaulin car cover for the ZS.
I've got a new car, Octavia VRs, and have had my beloved ZS180 up for sale since October but with no takers. So, i have decided to keep her.
The car hasn't turned a wheel in 3 months, recharged the battery yesterday, and she fired up first turn of the key, went for a blast in her and feel in love all over again! lol now i just cant part with her!
so, no real hurry for the cover as spring /summer isn't really that far away.
any help would be appreciated...

Make sure you get a breathable one.

They can scratch the car and aparently need to be removed every few days.

I would invest in some long lasting good quality wax, give it a few coats and leave her out.

its strange you mention that, I was concerned about condensation etc under the cover...

The car has layers and layers of wax and sealant so I guess iy would be ok....it's been out in the open since new any way.....:-)

Quality and £100's of pounds is the only way. I used to rent a council garage for mine and cover it with a proper breathable car cover but it still got moisture under it. Outside unless lashed down tidy it will flap about and damage the car.
