    Do many people here use car covers? mostly from ferrari or aftermarket?

    Does anyone have any experience with those clear ones you see on the showroom section with those massive collections in somebodys garage? Look good as you can still see the car and protect it but does not have felt etc to protect the paint.

    Horse has had this cover for over 20 years.

    People ask why the carpet isn't faded like most 308s, and why the leather isn't "yellowey" - here's why. :)

    (I also put a normal cheap car cover over this car cover to keep the car cover clean - it's made out of a chamios type of fabric.)

    LOL

    Do you put an old sheet over that to keep the "normal cheap cover" clean? :)

    I purchased the covers for my Testarossa and Lexus SC400 Coupe's through this company:

    http://www.luxurycovers.com/

    The quality is fantastic and the service equally as good.

    Fantastic fabric, mirror pockets, full elastic edge strip. Just a bloody great product.

    Stretch Satin was what I ordered. $198 USD plus freight which worked out really well.

    If the cover is just for indoor dust protection, then Repco have light weight ones which cost about $40.

    Three sizes available but I use the large one which then fits all.

    Thanks. That's the sort of thing I'm after. Do they put a logo on the cover?

    They can do logos, but I kept mine plain.

    If you want pictures I can take one in the morning of the cover on the Testa.

    Hi Greg,
    My wife bought me a fitted cover for my 328GTS from either Adelaide or Perth, (on internet under carcovers)not sure which, Red and complete with Ferrari badge on the front, pockets for the mirrors, elastic across front and back, with a tie across under the doors. Long section of tie has a weight in it for sending under car
    Comes in a bag the same material and looks great, fit could be a little better, maybe just a tad big. Probably will shrink the first time it's washed and my fit better then.
    Cheers,
    Ross

    Sounds like the ones I have already. Thick cotton material. I just found it was a bit to heavy and not completely impervious to dust.
