818S car cover?

[Lumpyguy]

Has anyone found the best option for a car cover for the 818S? I have one but its way to big and bulky. I was hoping someone found something that is a bit more slim fitting for our cars.

thinking a miata or Boxter cover?

[STiPWRD]

Possibly S2000? Boxter and miata should work too.

[Canadian818]

Toyota Mr-s maybe? Or lotus?

[phil1734]

S2000 is supposed to work well.

Mine came from a 370Z though I'm pretty sure it's just a generic sports car dust-cover. It's a touch long and "tall," but with the car on blocks for winter the height is just right. (Winter is the only time I bother to cover it anyway, so it works out okay.)

We're using a Boxter cover on our 818S. It generally fits well, but it's still just a little big.

CoverCraft has a template for a 818S that came from my car. I have the only one I know of. It fits a little more snug than I expected in a couple of spots. The mirror pockets are located for mirrors mounted a few inches down from the top of the door rather than on top like the donor mirrors. The pockets are pretty big so it might work even with the mirrors mounted to the tops of the doors. I don't think it's listed on their web page but you might be able to get if you call them. Unfortunately I can't find any pictures to post. I know the only pictures I took were in the garage and are from pretty lousy angles.

Call Car Cover World in FL. They are a CoverCraft dealer and they sell covers for the MK 4. I worked with them to have mine made. They should be able to order another through CoverCraft.

Just curious if anyone has updates or other good options for a (budget?) cover.

Definitely! Glad I could help.

I got a universal fit one from Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts. It's made for a "medium-small" size car (it lists miata, s2000, etc) and it fits like a glove. Was $45.

[tmoretta]

Anyone know of a tonneau type cover that could be used on an 818S? I am looking to extend the use of the 818 in inclement weather. I don't want to go to the convertible top because it severely limits access to the engine. I would like to be able to drive this car to track days regardless of light rain.

[palomino]

I found an inside cover for my 818. Really soft. doesn't mark or mar the paint.

I just got the NOAH from California Car Cover for the Alfa 4C and it fits great. It even kept the interior dry in some rain when I was visiting my brother last weekend
