Default Car covers

I'm looking for a high quality car cover for my sti 4 ( has a sti 6 wing ). Have looked at the ones on www.stiracing.com , but they seem to be for the newage cars. Anyone know if they will fit? I emailed them a week ago and have had no response.
Any other suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

Is it going to be in the garage? Think carefully about using one outside as the car will have to be 100% spotlessly clean or any wind will grind dust into the paintwork for you.

I have one from stiracing.com to fit my 5 Type R. it is quite "baggy" but does fit the car. The fit can be improved by fitting some bungee cord to the corners, so they pull tight underneath the car!

Well said re cleanliness, had a Covercraft tailor made cover for my last car and I would only put it on after I had cleaned it but when I was not using the car during the winter it made a lot of sense, if it is outside make sure you get a breathable one.

I've got a purpose made Covercraft cover for my TVR ..... it cost £300 but is made to fit, lightweight and comes with a lock, cable and storage bag.

As has been mentioned - only use a cover if the car is clean though ..... or the cover will just rub on the dirt and scratch the car.

FWIW though I am well pleased with my Covercraft cover. It took about a month to get it made and delivered.

if you used a cover on the street, might this not attract more potentially bad attention to the car...?
