Hi Dan,

I've ordered one of these;
which look to be spot on for what I need. Mind you, I've had to wait 3 months (plus a bit!) to let the new paint job settle and harden first - watching the mini slowly get dusty is a nightmare :(
Careful wash + wax due very soon...

why did it take so long to come?

i have looked on the net at various sites, havent got a clue where to start though! want something that isnt going to be cheap and scratchy on the paint, but im not paying £250 for a decent one!

i guess the one from minispares will be good quality v?

Oh - sorry Dan, badly worded post by me there! The cover arrived really quickly (actually my mum's bought it me for Christmas! Bless her, so it'll be a couple more weeks before I get & fit it)

The "delay" is because the paint job had to wait before waxing/ covering so it can breathe and release the paint agents during curing. Or so says the t'internet!

Once I've fitted the cover I'll post some pics (how exciting will that be ?! *indifferent* )

Edit: noticed your comment re: price; the indoor one is £45+VAT
