Default Car covers for a 3 dr RS

Any recommendations for a cover for my 3dr?
Australian manufacturers or agents please. I've just had my carport knocked back by the local council so looking for alternatives. I've thought about a Carcoon , but not sure it will be " discrete" enough
Thanks
Keith

We seem to have a company here in WA thats made at least three covers for Sierra RS500's and one for a saph so I contacted them and they have sent samples of the material.
If it all look good i'll post the details for other 3dr/saph/ rs500 owners.
Cheers

Chief Car covers here in Western Australia sell a fully fitted one in tailored cotton for $375 and a water repellent one in a type of canvas for $579. The boss reckons he's done a few RS500's over the years and a couple of saphs so has all the templates.
They seem to fit really good so I'm going to take a punt and order the water repellent one.
They have been in business for over 20 yrs so I guess its worth a gamble.
I'll let you know in a few weeks time when it arrives
Cheers

Yeah, Chief's do a very good cover.

The wife has got me one for the last two years for Xmas and will be getting another one this year......... better than socks and a tie. I have only got the indoor type so I have not experienced their out door ones. But if their outdoor ones are as good as their indoor, you cannot go wrong.
