Looking at getting a indoor car cover for my xr2, as its all painted nicely I want it staying at its best while in the garage.
I like the look of the soft snug fit ones.

Anyone got one for their mk2 xr2 or could recommend a company?

stormforce make good quality covers. But if the car as been recently painted, please don't use a cover on the car or you will end up with lots of little blisters in the paint.

It was painted in January I thought the breathable covers eliminated the risk of blistering

I had mine under cover pretty much a month after it was painted cause my garage roof started to leak.
And when we had to do some repairs to the 1/4 cause of some idiot dented it. The paint wouldn't feather out.
So doesn't always blister.
12 months is the recommended period without a cover.
But if the job was any good then it shouldn't need it. Aslong as you wash dust off before polishing you'll be alright.
