Outdoor cover recommendations

[trixical]

I should be joining your ranks soon and am currently working my way through the general list of expenditure and bits to buy (any excuse)
The car is going to be kept outside so its going need a suitable cover for all weathers, has anyone got any recommendations?
So far i've been considering the Seven Speed Stormforce cover.

Also possibly a rookie question, the car i'm buying is a 1999 build from a quick look on the net I'm presuming its an S3? can anyone educate me on the differences between an S3 & SV as this seems key info i'm not entirely clued up on

Thanks

Stormforce's are fine for outdoor use and occasional indoor (if it's mostly indoor get a indoor one). I'vve modified mine with some reinforced holes to bungee the corners to the wheels for extra wind resistance. It seems to cope with snow laying on it for a few days too.

If it's a 100% an '99, it is a S3.

I bought a Moltex breathable car cover from Hamilton Classic Ltd and am pleased with it - has five layers with fleecy lining and two securing straps under car.

Yes if it's a '99 its definitely an S3 (standard size).

SV was brought in much later and is the car for anyone who eats lots of pies

Here's a comparison picture :
