    Hi there,

    Can anyone suggest a decent make of car cover and also a good place in Dublin to get one? Bloody bird*** is breaking my heart!

    Seeing as most of them are basically giant plastic bags I don't think there's much difference between makes :)

    Argos do them at a decent price, I think Lidl or maybe Aldi do them every now and then too.

    We had an Argos one that was genuinely terrible - I was hoping for something with weights or elastic to at least keep the thing secured.

    I'll take a look up in Aldi now.

    thanks a mil :-)

    A friend of mine had an argos one before that was quite good, altough I can't remember how it was held on.

    Aldi/Lidl only do them a specials I think so they may not have any at the moment, check their websites.

    check out www.covercraft-europe.com - the top of the range ones are mad money (but worth it) but they do dust cover type ones stitched to match your car.

    The Argos ones sweats your car had 2 different ones and binned them.
    The light ones that let only heavy rain in [will run off water around windows and gaps] are good as rain wont do harm,
    but cats, birds, soot, frost etc will.Got a good one in Bradshaw's auto factors in Newbridge about 40 euros. M to XLL which will cover a car up to about 18foot

    Yup, complete rubbish. Ended up going back and buying the most expensive one after a few weeks, much better :)
