Been looking on the site but it was inconclusive which size to get. Lauren just needs a cover for a short while, so it will need to go over an Exige rear wing on the rear as well.

 

Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't bother. The cover is more likely to damage your paint than weather.

 

I left a cover over mine for a few weeks while a had a clam off and it put loads of scratches in the laquer that lifted.

Small fits well on my car and tucks right under the rear - so SHOULD fit even with the exige wing but may not tuck right underneath.

 

No evidence of scratches on paintwork with mine.

I have the Exige wing and a fitted vx cover and it doesn't fit! My vx lives permanently on the drive without a cover now.

Think were just going to try a Halfords one, so its just down to whether its a small or medium.

i have a halfords small, i doubt it would fit over the rear wing. its pretty snug as is.

I had a Halfords medium before I swapped to a Stormforce.

 

This extra space should fit over the Exige wing easily, but as Tony says beware of the flappiness. Suggest you tie down around over the top as well as underneath as the straps are not to strong when the wind gets under the cover.

This is what the cover did to my paint. Halfords small.

 

My paint has worse than this going on for sure so no big deal for me. Not saying covers will always scratch your paint but if your car has nice paint Martin I'd just let it get a little dirty.

Crikey!!!!!

 

I had mine on regulary and never ever had any issues. I have said that if you have any concerns then stick some fleece patch onto the corners, as they are can be remove, cleaned and re-adhered easily.

Martin, i have a spare medium halfords one you can have. I replaced it with a small, the medium was fine just blew around a little bit in the wind. They have straps which go under the car and connect so it can't go far.

I've had both med and small. The small is perfect on a Vx but won't go over a wing. It'll go on but leaves 6 in of bumper showing. Med buries the Vx right to the ground but does flap a bit. I've had a small patch of paint polished off the mirrors due to the movement of the cover. Otherwise can't moan too much.

Halfords small on mine and had no trouble. Something underneath the cover must have caused that! With a wing, medium is your best bet as the small is a perfect fit

Thanks all.
