My car lives under a car port but the swifts have moved in so I’d like to buy an outdoor cover to protect it.
As far as I can see Porsche didn't make a car cover that will fit the Cayman R with its fixed rear spoiler.
Can anyone recommend a suitable cover please?

Cool to have swifts ESP that low to the ground.

They are great to watch in the morning and evenings. The car port makes for an expensive bird house though!

See my problem would sort your problem...

I keep my Spyder in a carport but next doors cat loves sitting/sleeping (and occupationally other S's) on the roof. At best it leaves long cat hairs and at worse little piles of unidentifiable something.

I've seen, in these forums, a place in Barwell, Leicestershire that do custom covers, mentioned and recommended before. I believe they were on the same trading estate as Noble until the latter moved.

These swifts would see your cat off no problem! They have taking to low level bombing of our Bengal. They act in teams of about 5. The cat gets pinned down as they swoop over his head by inches and then the others systematically deliver their sh*t bombs one by one. Great to watch, not so great for the moggy! Still better the cat then the CR!!

Thanks for the tip on the custom covers. I'll look into it.

I've drawn a blank on the Barwell option. Any suggestions / recommendations of custom cover suppliers?

Classic Additions might be worth a try. They do standard and bespoke.

A outdoor carcoon without you want your paint to get micro-scratches.

Are they really that bad even if the car is put away clean? It's Peridot Green, so it really doesn't show micro scratches.

Yes especially an outdoor cover as dust blows under it and the covers bellows in the breeze scratching it. I have seen some really bad examples of it.
