Vantage - outdoor cover
Discussion
Had a couple of specialised covers over the years on different cars, and on current Roadster. They are just great quality and fit right.
I dont use it daily as the car is not always clean, more for when i clean it and then dont use it for a few weeks over a bad winter period, or in summer when I want to keep the car clean for a special event.

I have the AM premium outdoor cover. A few points...
1) Fades like hell. This was deep green with white piping when I bought it - and in a few months of sun, it faded spectacularly
2) Despite being "breathable" the car still has moisture on it whenever I take the cover off - I'm pretty sure this is what is causing the paint bubbling around the handles etc
3) Despite 1 + 2, the fit is great, even allows the mirrors to fold in when locked - the elastic waist keeps it secure - it also has clips and straps that you can use to tie it under the car
Hope this helps.

It does fade when exposed to the sun; this happened within 3 months of ownership in my case. Please note that it still looks good, just doesn't look as nice it was in a darker black colour.
The straps that go under the car help keep it secure. They're also recessed between the layers of the cover itself, therefore reducing the chances of touching and scratching your bodywork. Storm Ali and the winds it brought did however manage to lift the front of the cover off the car, despite my car being a MY12.25+ with the Vantage S bumper / splitter....you can imagine my surprise and suspicion that someone had tampered with my car whilst I was out at work!
