I've had a search, and didn't find a great deal. I just wondered if anyone knows how much the "official" A3 car covers are from Audi? My car regularly sits for extended periods in a very dusty garage and despite many people saying I shouldn't use one, I've found that a car cover is perfect to preserve my efforts after pouring in several hours of two-bucketed snowfoamery, jet washing, polishing and waxing.

I have used a generic ebay one for my car in the past. £20 it cost. The official manufacturer ones will be around £80+ mark I'd imagine
 
Should be a doddle to clean if it's protected properly? The reason a lot of people advise against them is if any dust/dirt gets under it you'll risk scratches when removing it or if it moves about.

I've seen a few on the official Audi merchandise site but will set you back about £200

We have them at work although they'd never fit my car they have a lovely fleecy inner lining to them - does the Audi one come lined ?

Good negotiating with the dealer by the way !

Specialised Covers supply the official covers to Audi UK. I have a Prestige model
New Zealand 1
for my TT and it is brilliant. This photo shows it outside but it is only a cover for use inside the garage. I did a deal with them so can't really say how much I paid. See them at:

I have the OEM Audi cover for my S7. I purchased from eBay Germany at a third of the dealer price.

It's definitely an indoor cover only.

Keep an eye on eBay as they come up on a regular basis. (You don't say what model A3 you have, but here is an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...106157?hash=item58b56040ad:g:pSgAAOSwDk5T40~j)

If your searching eBay, make sure you select Europe wide in the location settings, and not just UK. (Got mine from Germany)

Many thanks, that's a very useful tip.
