FYI, I've been searching for a canopy for my 2011 Icarus 500 for some time.
Vango have launched a new tent the Woburn 500 for 2013. The front canopy is almost exactly the right size 320mm wide and 195cm high.
Vango themselves tell me it will fit albeit 5cm extra on the width.
I bought it for £90 pre delivery (stocks were all due at dealers 1st of March), cheaper than the correct Icarus 2012 500 canopy.
I plan to use it over Easter and will update on actual fit and hopefully some photos.

Hi terryandyota,

Always handy to know these things, if you get a chance maybe pictures to and post them on the Vango Icarus tent review.

Did it fit? We have the Icarus 500 and want to get the Woburn 500 canopy but as not returnable once out of its bag wanted to be sure before we bought it.

Hi all, due to rubbish weather only got a chance today to put it up prior to camping this week. Forgot to take photos but it fits very well, slightly smaller in length than the Icarus 500 extension but still a usable extension enough for our 4 seater picnic table etc.
