Default Car Cover

I'm looking for a car cover for my GTS. It will always be garaged, but I'd like some protection from children / accidents. Any recommended suppliers / brands?

I saw this on on eBay, but, whilst it looks OK, it's a little cheap. Perhaps that's not an issue for indoor use though.

The best protection for your car is not let ANY children around the car.

That's what I (try to) do. Easier in a separate garage.
But I know it is not always easy to do!
I guess the thicker the cover, the better it is.

I got one from California Car Covers last year for the same reasons you mentioned. It is very soft, fits like a glove, and offers good protection from my 4 year old daughter accidentally banging her scooter, etc. into my gts. http://www.calcarcover.com

I bought one about two years ago that is made for our 928, see:

https://rennlist.com/forums/10140045-post3530.html

Sold by FVD www.fvd.us for USA and www.fvd.de for Europe (on of many official Rennlist sponsors) as per their article number 190 043 13, and as always: no affiliation and just passing on my happy customer information for this topic.

Beyond the cover, add a few mover's blankets where impact might be expected. Cheap at Harbor Freight on sale.
