covering my bases (again!)

during a short run out for breakfast, the sunny weather wreaked havoc on the tactile rubber inserts in the car (over just 1.5 hours! from 10 to 1230pm), so the climate control bits are starting to peel.

i was shopping around online for a fitted cover for the car (had a good experience with the covercraft all-weather NOAH car-cover so was thinking of going down that route), but the wife suggested using the one from the 190 E 2.3-16 instead since the cars were pretty much the same size.


what do you know? it fits pretty snug and accommodates the rear wing well, with even the wing mirrors slotting nicely into the cover's mirror pockets. Funny thing, cos it wouldn't fit the W202 C-Class i was running for a short while, which you'd have imagined would have been a better match.

All Bases Covered : NOAH car-cover

This came home with us after our short trip to Honolulu last week.

I ordered it via http://www.carcoverworld.com/ and checked it in on our way back to Singapore.



Today's on-off wet weather gave me an opportunity to try it out.

yeah, it may be just another outdoor car cover but after using the cheap stuff you get off-the-rack, it was pretty cool to have a fitted, model-specific wrap for the 190E, especially one that can be used rain or shine (given the vagaries of Singapore's temperamental weather) .

A little bit more info about the NOAH fabric here:

Some wrinkles on the back, but otherwise fits like a glove; there's even some 'give' in front for the three-pointed star.



Next to it is the Fiat Cinquecento (also wrapped in NOAH)
