    Hi,

    Does anyone know if a factory car cover from a 360 fit a 355?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a 355 factory car cover with bag available, the 360 will fit but it's way too big.

    Yes a 360 will fit a 355 nicely, i use a F430 cover and it fits perfectly. I have photos of a f430 cover on a 355, i will dig them out and post in a couple of hours. 360/340 covers are not way to big.

    I used a F430 cover on my 348 once, and I must say, the fit was poor. It was just way too baggy and dragged on the garage floor --- quite similar to the photo posted above.

    If you're only interested in having a cover with the horse on it, then certainly go for the OEM F355 cover. However, if you're open to another option, consider our Coverking covers for specifically cut for the F355: http://www.ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?cPath=100004&products_id=284230.

    If you have PayPal funds burning a hole in your pocket, we offer the same covers in our eBay store here:

    I'm biased for sure, but I think the OEM covers have in recent years become quite thin in their material and not as "fleecy" as the Coverking versions.

    also, go to the FCA website "classified" section. There is someone there that sells the factory red satin covers for most models.

    How do we know that the OP has not been given a 360 cover or has been offered one at a cheep price? Maybe he does not want to waste money, and i would hope that he is intelligent enough to know the cars are completely different shapes. Yes 355 covers are very easy to get hold of, i mean there are two posters on here who have jumped in with one for sale.
    He asked a question and i posted pictures of one on a 355, so now he can decide i have nothing to gain...or sell. And it does not drag on the ground:rolleyes: Besides i don't drive the car with the cover on, so even if it did touch the ground and i did, only then it would drag;) The cover i use is a F430 and it sits on a 355 spider, so its not as bad a fit as some of you would think. I had the f430 cover originally for my 360 spider, being that my 355 never came with one i now use it for that.
    I have seen a few 328/355s use covers from bigger cars at Ferrari dealership workshops. When your car is rested up the cover does its job of keeping the dust of the paint.

    Looks like you got it covered. But here's a pic of a 348 Spider with a 355 cover, then a 360 cover. And then a tail shot of the 360 cover....


    Yeh, I know about the wheels........
