If anyone has got an Atom cover for cars with wings - indoor or outdoor - that they want to sell, then please feel free to pm me.

Thanks,

Tim.

Classic Additions can make you either an indoor or all weather cover in a week or so.

They can also personalise it with a logo if you wish!

I have just had a new AW cover made by them for my 3.5R which has wings fitted front and rear.

Thank you for that. How much do they charge?

Best to give them a ring :

I usually deal with Stacey who is very familiar with Atoms.

Make sure that they are aware that you have a Atom 3/3.5 with aero as the cover for an Atom 4 with aero is very different!

Classic Additions make the covers for the Ariel factory but it's cheaper to go direct to them!!

You could mention to Stacey that 'Paul in Cyprus' suggested that you give them a call!

Thank you Paul, much appreciated. Interesting that they make the factory ones - you are a mine of information!

I'll give Stacey a call.

Just to update this and for future reference, I rang and talked to Stacey at Classic Additions and she confirmed that although they make the factory covers, they won't exactly match the Ariel covers as they are not allowed. Their standard indoor cover is £319, and that does include the piping, the 3 panels and wing mirror pockets in a choice of colours. You can then add a logo and stripes at extra cost - there is a helpful configurator for all Ariel variants on their website https://www.classicadditions.com/en-GB/ ... 073-172317

Once you add the Ariel logo, then the price is £344 including delivery, which is around 4 weeks.

They also have an outdoor cover for £459 inc. delivery, but this only comes in silver.

Ariel charge £348 inc. VAT for both the indoor and outdoor cover, plus delivery at around £17. That makes their outdoor cover much cheaper than buying it direct from Classic Additions.

I have therefore ordered the outdoor cover (as an early birthday present) this morning from Ariel which will be with me by tomorrow.

I discovered that the Ariel outdoor cover is made of rather lighter material and is not nearly as heavy duty as the All Weather cover direct from Classic Additions and, in my personal opinion, is really more intended for an occasional night away rather than a permanent storage solution - in my case my first cover only lasted a summer in Cyprus whereas I get about 2.5 years out of a heavy duty AW cover bought direct from CA!

Makes sense Paul and would explain why is is so much cheaper than the CA cover. My Atom lives in my garage anyway, so it really is just in case I ever need to leave it out in the rain.
