I have a need for an outdoor car cover for my 4th gen.
The one i have is shot! Looking for something top quality.
Also any input on what is best outdoor car cover would be much appreciated as i am not against buying something brand new in this instance.

That's the last thread I recall about it - and I posted up my 2peneth worth there.
My views/experience not changed (although I now also have a voyager that I use inside for the 1g in the Barn).

That's where I've continued to by mine and I would recommend only a monsoon or stormforce for outside.

One word of caution... They're designed for the standard car, not with added body kit.
Side skirts/rear spats don't really cause a problem from what I've found (certainly the minimalistic mugen ones I have) but when you have a massive front lip (I have a VS2, which is quite deep) it has an effect. Cover still fits the car, but it pulls the cover hard forwards around the wing mirrors... Not ideal.

Thanks for the suggestions/info. :)
I went for a Halfords All Seasons car cover in medium @ £65 - this got good reviews recently.
Great fit for both 4th and 5th gen.(jdm folding mirrors are tucked in)
As i use both ludes each week the car cover is only on for 4-5 days at a go.
Main reason i need it is the lude is parked on the hard standing but the front of the car is right underneath a large sycamore tree so lots of tree sap and bits plus quite a few pigeon droppings. Will get a pic sometime.
