Seeking fender cover recommendation for W123

I'm looking for a good front fender cover to use on my W123 when working under the hood.

Lots available on the net, anyone have one in particular that they have found to be recommendable?

Thanks-

I prefer the smaller cover from Matco because it fits better along the top of the fender. The larger covers have a problem fitting around the bonnet springs. They work but tend to bunch up creating "peaks".

I've been using the Harbor Freight Magentic fender cover, it's been working well!
Doesn't scratch paint!
