I have one, and it’s very good as covers go. You should be able to order it from your local Lotus dealer. If you have a problem, let me know… [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

If you want them to measure up for an Exige without you having to take your car to them I can see what I can do (I’m assuming you’re not local to Manchester, but you may be). Conversely, I can sell you a mint condition Diablo SE30 or Countach QV Evolution 4 cover � they�re the right shape, just a bit big!

Somebody kindly answered this question for me a few weeks ago. But I can’t find it again!?They had a waterproof one that was slightly large but did the job for value money (�60?). They had been sent an Elise one but it didn’t fit. They gave a phone number. If you could supply it again I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only grateful one.

tony , no im either in london or devon … the evo 4 people i spoke to said they had to send the dimensions to their pattern maker in the US ! i spoke to one company who said they had an exige pattern but i really didnt think they new what i was talking about … ill call a few more places thanks for your offer though .

That was me - Cover Systems Address: 49 Grove RdRushdenNN10 0YD Tel: 01933 410851 Tell them they made a cover for Guy Stobart-Hook - firstly it was Elise shaped then after me showing them what a difference in shape the Exige was with the rear wing they took it back and made a new one! quote:Originally posted by IDG:Somebody kindly answered this question for me a few weeks ago.

just to let anyone knows whos interested … i found a weather proof cover , their own version of evo 4 for �205 inclusive at specialised car covers 01943 864646 , apparently the second exige in two days [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image] … guy , i tried your place but they dont have any fabric in until the end of november , specialised are quoting under 14 days … they have a website as well www.specialisedcarcovers.com

From memory, it’s Specialised Car Covers who manufacture their covers about 10 miles away from me! Small world…

My poor car was looking very cold this morning! Which reminded me I’ve got to order a cover.Roger, what colour is yours? Was there a choice? Still pleased with it?Guy, how’s yours doing? Was really only in the the �60 region? Is it waterproof and breathable?Questions, questions.Thanks chaps, Ian [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image][This message has been edited by IDG (edited 02 January 2002).]

ian … its grey and i dont think there was a choice … the material they use is completely waterproof but that means its not as soft as evolution 4 which i was more used to , in fact i managed to tear it a little the first time i took it off ! and it was closer to �200 … hah bit of a mixed answer i suppose but if you watnt totally waterproof this is the way to go , the fit is perfect … i dont know where you are but if your anywhere near london pop round and ill show you …
