    Loooooooong time lurker on this forum, which was really helpful when I purchased my first Ferrari, 2021 Roma in Rosso Corsa, this weekend at Manchester Ferrari who made the day very special for me, my wife and daughter.

    Any recommendations for an outdoor cover?

    Great looking car - welcome to the Ferrari community. Wish I could help with the cover. I'm sure someone will weigh in. I would say pay special attention to woodland creatures: squirrels, mice, chipmunks, etc... They all love to chew on anything left out-of-doors. Hopefully you can find a garage space soon.

    Outdoors? ...shudder...

    All Ferrari's must be stored indoors - with car covers made out of grass-fed unicorn hides, tanned in non-aniline dyes - and ideally under pyramid "cones" to focus the beta rays on the engine and prevent corrosion.

    Get with the program, noob! :p

    Thanks for the welcome. I should clarify it will live in an enclosed car port on the end of the house, no room in the garages unfortunately, the outdoor cover is just being over protective. I'll check out Specialised Covers :)

    Congrats on the new F-car. I have a Covercraft. Their website has a useful comparison chart of different features to be aware of, even if you decide not to go with their product. I found it very useful in my decision process.

    If it's enclosed car port, I might forego a cover, unless you want to keep the car from prying eyes. Some folks worry that the cover flapping in the breeze - especially if you live where it's dusty - could do more harm to the paint than leaving it exposed.
