Hello,

thanks

I could probably make one for you, I'll need dimensions to get the fit right. Here is an example of a previous cover I made. It's only when you look very closely you'll notice it's not genuine.

lol thx for this offer but i will pass

Covers suck. They're a faff to get on and off, supposedly they damage your paintwork and pulling a wet cover off and storing it somewhere is a pain. Then later you are trying to put a sopping wet cover back on your car.

My advice - If you are using it infrequently, buy a carcoon.

Or one of these. Looks like it could easily be used daily.

Classic additions may be worth a look - sure they'll make you a bespoke cover if necessary.

Mine's from their Ultimate Outdoor Range, works well, my thoughts below (not quite a GT4, but if you squint a bit!!);

Hmmm..i’ve heard of leaving a “breathable gap “ but that’s ridiculous …

Having said that do you do them in Sapphire Blue?..

I don’t have a garage so my GT4 will be left outside with no cover. My previous car has been outside for the 7 years I’ve owned her and shows no signs of premature ageing. I have extended leather in my current car and that still looks as good as new. These cars are well build and not made of chocolate so I wouldn’t worry. As a gentleman above has stared outdoor covers are a total PIYA to remove, store etc. I don’t subscribe to the point that they ‘ruin’ your paintwork but that just my personal view. I also think a Carcoon, or similar, is probable the best solution.

I am having the new car detailed and ceramic coated before delivery (my current car hasn’t been).

Enjoy the new car…..

I've used a Classic Additions Ultimate outdoor cover in the past. Actually I have a medium and large in the garage, the reason being my previous car, a M2 was kept outside and I used the medium cover as per their recommendation on their website, however, I noticed that the cover had rubbed the rear arches and although the car had been ceramic coated, the cover still marked the paintwork. The marks on each rear arch were was easily machine polished out, however, I did contact Classic Additions and sent them photos of the damage and to their credit they sent me a large cover for the M2 which was a lot better although in some places a little too big.

I've had my GT4 for just over a year now and only used the medium cover twice as it's now garaged. I did try the large cover first but it was far too big for the GT4.

Hope that helps.

I had a Classic Additions SMALL for my Cayman GTS which proved to be a little tight . So I have now a MEDIUM for my 718 Spyder which is perfect for size and fit ..... plenty of overlap for under the Front & REAR .

Heartily recommend the Classic Additions Outdoor Covers for Weatherproofing and Breathability . The new Premium Cloth is slightly finer now .... so easier to Remove even if wet . Although have sustained a couple of Cat claw scratches through the cover .... until I wired up the Car with 20,000 v and the Cats & Foxes seem to have gone elsewhere ( only joking !! ).
Can anyone recommend a decent Cat / Fox deterrent ? Battery operated .

I use an outdoor carcoon for my 360. but if it was a newer car I would leave it uncovered, my Lotus Evora was fine outside in all weathers, so I am sure a GT4 will be as well. get a decent ceramic coat.
