Can anybody tell me the dimensions required for a car cover? There is one on Amazon quoted as 50cm x 35cm x 25cm, which even though the dimensions are obviously wrong, doesn't upscale to anything realistic. There is one coming up in Lidl on 8th January, which seems perfectly good enough for what I need.

Hi

I don't know the size required and most of them are just universal. You base them on small car, medium car and large car.

This one for the C4 Cactus looks like similar the ratios of length, width and height are close to the C3 Picasso.

Hmmm, I have the dimensions now and it seems the height is going to be the issue here. The best option seems to be the otherwise over-length SUV one one at 485 x 177 x 144. Obviously no match for a custom made one but I can live with that for its price. Not available for another week though.

The Lidl one seems reasonable enough for under twenty quid, although I hadn't reckoned it taking siz people an hour to put it on. I'll try again on a calmer day in May. :mrgreen:
