Dave9639 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I had got the large one from argos but was too short to fit over the front as the gt spoiler raised the cover at the back. My friend has the halfords large six and that looks a lot durable. Try and get ones that have eye lids so that you can tie it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherv Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 All down to budget,if you want a really good one,weatherproof with some breatheability and a soft inner lining for long term outdoor use,i have one of these but they are pricey...mine has elasticated front and rear,and clips tight underneath the car front,rear,and two under the centre of the car and has wing mirror pockets.Its tailored to a gen4 Celica by them,but can order for any car.The example below is a more extreme one,they do a lighter,cheaper version and you can modify it to your needs (at a price) http://www.specialisedcovers.com/checkout/cart as I say though its down to budget! Keeping a near 30 year old Celica outside is a challenge,but ive had the cover a good while now and its been worth the outlay.No cover is ideal for a car,well long term anyway,but my car has definitely benefited from this one ,its one of the best available but you will need the outlay.Its not like the car spends months under it in one hit,but as its not a daily it is covered whenever its not being used all year round....but this time of year it does spend a lot of time covered,also protects my red paint from sun and bird crap.For a smaller budget the guys above have been happy with theirs though.

arizona Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I recommend this one too, got the gtr covered and it is excellent I forgot to add on my post, if leaving on for a bit i make sure its clean and then throw a cotton sheet over it before putting the cover on to create a lining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiddo Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I used this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000F6YX84?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 on my celica tsport for 6 months outdoor storage, it covers well, and can be tied together underneath the car to stop from blowing away, it did blow off a couple of times though in the high winds, its a breathable cover, so does let a little water though, but also makes sure the car dries out again.

Nibor Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Have a look at www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk not cheap but seem to be a good product and got to say know what they are talking about when it comes to car covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briano Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have an actual tailored cover with straps and elastic front and rear for my GT4. had some winds recently around 30-40mph and it managed to break the straps underneath and with the force ripped both a wing mirror and the spoiler off. sometimes its best to not cover the car and just keep an eye on it.

Squiddo, what size are you using for your car. thinks about one for our Vert Gen 6, so think whatever size you got should do ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
