Thats the problem Chris, you have decent and cheap in the same sentence. Just sorted one for my brothers Escort cosworth @ £145. It fits the tail and is multi lined with a soft first layer so you do not damage the paint.

you are going to stuggle to get a custom cover that's any good for under that figure.

I use one but it will also move and scratch you paint no matter how well you tie it down. I use a cheep one but my paint job was about £20, it does keeps the dirt and weather out.
