    Covercraft weathershield HP. Tailored for the vehicle. Good protection. Comes in many colours and is anonymous.. no one knows what’s underneath.

    I’m using one of their outdoor covers for my 458. It seems fine and is a snug fit but it doesn’t have wing mirror pockets so has areas on the sides where water collects. I also get two big puddles over the air intakes by the rear lights, but that is likely specific to the 458. Overall happy but would prefer a cover that was completely bespoke to my car as opposed to mostly the right size.

    Finally got my f8 today. Love it.

    First time
    Had a car cover. Nightmare to put on
    Myself. Lol.

    How are you supposed to stop
    It getting dirty then put it in the bag for next day lol.

    I bought it to try hide the car a bit as
    It’s on my drive. Not sure if I will bother

    Yes dick Lovett Swindon. Great help from Harry.
    Front plate was stuck on but bit high so I took it off. Going to try get that plate holder from that American company if they still deliver to uk.

    Feel like the car cover is good for putting on and leaving on for few days or weeks.
    I’m two days in and worried
    About the dirt in it scratching car lol.
    Using it daily as car on my drive way

    Fantastic looking F8 David. As you know I have an 812 however I still think the F8 is the best modern Ferrari. The sheer speed it gets to is incredible but it does have the very best steering of all modern Ferraris which helps to control all those wild horses. Many congrats on a great purchase from an equally great dealer.

    I’ve dealt with Harry before when I was enquiring. I rate him and DL very highly. He gave me a great deal of his time and was really helpful without being pushy. Their upstairs showroom is quite special.

    as Taff says the F8 drives so well. Mind you I could just have easily gone for an 812. In fact it was while I was looking at 812’s during lockdown at DL that Harry introduced me to the F8’s.

    Thanks John. Love it. I was worried i wouldn’t like the seats and that the standard sound system wouldn’t be good but happy to say i love the seats, they are great and can hold you in tightly like the race seats plus they’re heated and fully electric. On a long drive like yesterday to Scotland I like to move the back into a few different positions.
    Plus more than happy with the standard speakers. Sound good when streaming music via Bluetooth.
    It will be a long time before I will Be able to drive it the way it’s meant to be driven. Slightest touch of the loud peddle even in fourth gear and it scary lol.

    Nick. Do you wash your car and dry every time before putting on cover ?

    I’m using my cover off and on every day which is a pain. Don’t want to wash car every day to put cover on but worried about getting scratched if i put it on with any dirt etc.

    I have the cover not just for protection but to try hide the car so it doesn’t stick out like a red Ferrari lol. As I don’t have garage

    I’m also interested in a cover that can be put on an unwashed car and not scratch.
