my cooper isnt a sportspack but was made around the same time the sportspacks were made (mines a 98 cooper mp) does the cover still fit all nice n snug over it? Also with the roof mounted aerial, it doesnt bend it does it? sorry for such a dumb question just need to make sure. PM me if you need to :)

Hi,

Thank you very much for your questions. The rain has certainly been out to prove a point the last few weeks hasnt it?!

Our cover will fit your mini fine and will be a nice snug fit as the elasticated edges pull the cover in to the car.

Roof aerials are fine, if you just make sure that the aerial is lying down flattish (but not touching the paint work) alternatively if the car is being parked up for a while if the aerial unscrews that would be best!

I hope that helps :)

Rob

Having recieved this cover.... I can say it is good.... Although i did find some water underneath it but i think this could be due to me futting it when it was wet but no scratches and did the job and snuggly

Hi,

The only water that you should ever see on the vehicle is condensation in the mornings etc, this will breathe out through the cover but the cover will not allow water through its one way membrane :)

Glad you like it Jake

Hi,

Yea, if you use a wet cloth and lightly clean the area as it should lift out of the cotton quite easily.

That is great to hear! I am sure the rain will still be pouring then, although these covers are great in the sun too... should the need arise :)

Hi, yea the central locking kits really are very easy to install, we developed the control cable to create a reliable and easy to install system. There is fine tuning on the cables that is carried out by turning grb screws, very easy kit :)

If you would like to order, please get your pre order in as the mini mag advert has generated alot of interest and we only have 2 platinum (alarm, central locking and electric windows) kits left when they land on the 27th, we have plenty of the alarms and central locking kits though but they are selling fast.

Here is a link to the security section of the website.

if you had done a search this question has been answered many times!!

anyway laziness aside and although many people hate them for various things i have to say this is hands down my best purchase from them!!

http://www.halfords....tegoryId_165611

my first one lasted me 3 years (2 seasons of snow and the intense sun & rain) on my second now and with all that rain my car wasnt wet even a drop. is big enough to happily fit a clubman too.

cant argue with that! my car is also kept outside on the drive and not in a garage.
