Hey guys

Collecting my PFL dc5 next month and wondered if anyone can recommend a decent cover, have to leave her outside due to a mini project lol

I think it might be Stormshield/Stormfoce? who get good reviews, bit pricey though. Think it was Stormforce I recall seeing recommendations for.

Problem with car covers is they can scratch the paintwork, and when it rains and you want to go out you have to put a sopping wet cover in the boot of your car. And then try and put it back on when you get back. I find them all a bit of a faff personally.

Better solution would be:

Obviously not possible unless you have your own drive though.

Cheers buddy thanks for the links.

Should only be a temporary measure until I get my garage back. I had one years ago and it's true they can be a pain, will just pop it in the garage when I go out. Can't be done with throwing a wet sheet in the back lol

Be careful with the stormforce cover if you do get one, i put one on mine for the last couple of months of winter after it had been stored and it wore through the paint on the rear wing, was pretty disappointed as its sold as an outdoor cover but not up to the job on its own in reality (perhaps if your lucky enough to have somewhere very sheltered). If i were to use it again i'd stick something to the car to protect the main contact points, like some light duty foam tape or something on the wing mirrors, rear wing and bonnet etc..

Dam that sucks, I really want my garage back now lol. Always good to hear people's experiences though many thanks

i will be storing my teg in the garage for the winter, does it need a cover in there or is it best to leave it without as it will be sheltered anyway?

cheers

You could always get one of those tent things and put some guide lines on it. That way it would stop it from touching the car.
