custom car cover

Does anyone know of a good company I could order a custom made car cover from? I would like to get a black one with a yellow Aston logo and yellow corner piping.

Norman, the Aston Martin covers are very nice but pricey

EDIT*Not sure if they do the piping in yellow though

Your best deal, believe it or not, will come from the UK. If you want to buy the OEM (soft indoor?) cover ... buy from an Aston dealer in the UK and get it shipped (I'm not sure either if the yellow piping is available however). It's about half of what you'll pay (even after shipping) from a North American dealer. But call directly (advertised and eBay prices will be higher from the same vendors). I got a good deal calling HWM in the UK for mine (they are on eBay and also have a website).

AFAIK, there is no custom car cover outfit that can do the logo for you. There is one UK-based manufacturer that I remember seeing on eBay who advertised custom Aston covers in whatever piping/colour combo you want but no logo IIRC.

FWIW, I have a generic Autoglym multi-ply outdoor cover (size small) that I use on top of the soft indoor OEM cover when I have the car outside. It's a snug fit on the Vantage and doesn't go quite low enough around the bumpers and wheels, wish I had bought the next size up. You do have to tie it on though as it will blow off in a decent wind otherwise.

Ok thank you for the tips guys. I just need an indoor cover so I will try to get in touch with the company in UK. Too bad I can't get it done in my car color combo though (I have black/black car with yellow stitching) it would have looked nice

i'll check to see what kind mine is this afternoon. if i remember correctly, the previous owner had it custom made so they might be able to make it again and with your color choices.

Get the AM factory car cover. It's perfect for the car as it was designed for that specific make/model. The fit is bang on, and it looks stunning, in fact you can see shape accents and details from the car projected onto the cover, pretty cool, and the embroidery is just wonderful.

Here's the link the the eBay listing for the UK company I remembered who do custom colours/piping. No AM logo as I said (not sure if there is some other way to get it on there, suppose you could call them and inquire) but if you want yellow piping, they offer it.
