Looking into buying an Indoor Car Cover cover for G3 ELF to keep dust and other assorted nastiness off it while it's in the garage. Enquired at dealer and all they could offer was one with a 'Helicopter Landing Platform' design on it... :yawn: There used to be a 'Works' logo'd cover, but that appears to be no longer available.

Can anybody recommend a top quality Indoor Cover? Preferably without Postman Pat or other similar silly graphic! :thumbs up::bigwave:

This one seems to still be available (http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/mini-parts/info_BM82.15.0.420.671.html)

Not sure what the design is... could be checkered flag one.

Thanks Baz, I'll certainly check this out. It's what I was looking for in the first place - trick is, don't always believe what your Dealer tells you!

Greig kindly pointed me in the direction of LOHEN, who apparently do one too.

Had a look some nice covers but boy are they pricey. Don't get me wrong no worse than direst from BMW but starting to get to silly money.

Get some old sheets and sew them together, that's what i did..... If you can't sew use the iron on stuff, it's easy to use.:yes nod:

I've got an outdoor cover made by "coverzone". Had it for years. It has been excellent, well made and never marked the car. good tailored fit.

Nope, use it whenever not using the Mini for a while (holidays) to keep bird droppings off

Spotted this on Ebay - Might be of use to you and what your looking for... :thumbs up:

Would have been better to have seen a picture of the actual cover itself though... :yes nod:
