If you have other drivers parking near your covered car you may also consider....

Coverzone's Unique Side Protection System.

If you have ever had a nice shiny car in near perfect condition and worried that someone is going to park next to you and jam their car door into your car's bodywork then this is for you!
Coverzone have now developed a side protection buffer system that they can install in your new cover prior to despatch. This clever option permanently fixes a strip of high impact buffer pads along the side of the car in the door and side panel area where they are most vulnerable to door dings and scuffs.

The buffer pads are permanently fitted to the cover with double stitching and whilst they do not absolutely guarantee that your car will remain in pristine condition, they will provide much more protection in all those visible areas that are both costly and difficult to repair.
Once we receive the order for your new cover with side protection system we will take a stock cover and our skilled machinists will add the option to the inner lining on both sides. The cover will be a little bulkier when folded but the pads cleverly concertina closed when not in use so handling and storage of the cover is still a breeze.

When it comes to protecting your vehicle, choosing the right car cover is crucial. Two main options are bespoke car covers and generic car covers. Understanding the key differences between these two types can help you make an informed decision for protecting your car.

Bespoke Car Covers

Bespoke car covers are designed and manufactured specifically for your vehicle model. They are tailored to the exact dimensions and contours of your car, ensuring a snug, custom fit. This level of precision not only enhances the cover's appearance but also maximises protection against the elements.

Bespoke car covers often offer additional features, such as specialised materials, reinforced areas and even custom branding or logos. The attention to detail and personalisation make bespoke covers a premium choice for those who want the best possible protection for their prized possession.

Generic Car Covers

Generic car covers are designed to fit a range of vehicle models within a certain category such as saloons, SUVs or sports. While these covers may be more affordable, they often lack the precise fit and customisation of bespoke options.

Generic covers are typically made from standard materials and may not offer the same level of protection as bespoke covers. They are often a one-size-fits-all solution, which can result in a looser fit and increased risk of the cover shifting or blowing off in windy conditions.

Key Differences To Consider

  • Fit: Bespoke covers are tailored to the exact dimensions of your vehicle, while generic covers are designed to fit a range of models.
  • Customisation: Bespoke covers offer more options for personalisation, such as custom colours, mirror pockets and specialised features. Generic covers typically have limited customisation options.
  • Protection: Bespoke covers are often made from higher-quality materials and offer more comprehensive protection against the elements, such as UV rays, rain and snow.
  • Price: Bespoke covers tend to be more expensive than generic covers but the added benefits should justify the investment for most car owners.

When choosing between bespoke and generic car covers consider factors such as the value of your vehicle, the climate in your area and your personal preferences. Bespoke covers may be the better choice for those who want the ultimate protection and customisation, while generic covers can be a more budget-friendly option for those with less demanding needs.

Most importantly check out whether the item you are purchasing actually is custom as many sellers will state that it is a custom fit but actually only sell 6 sizes.
