Where can I get a "fitted" winter cover that will cover the Status arial and the central heating outlet for a 15' 3" ABI Manhattan 470/2 2000?
I know a little bit early but I might as well start looking

Are you after a bespoke tailor made cover?
Specialised Covers immediately spring to mind as these are a perfect custom fit for your requirements.

Alternatively, will not an 'off-the'shelf' cover do the job? They're usually sufficiently roomy to allow for the rooftop bit and bobs, however you'd obviously need to suitably protect. A colleague sticks a cheap old B&Q bucket over his Status aerial and a plant pot on his flue. If the Status is the omni-directional model, don't forget you can remove the pinnacle from the top too.

Just wondering why you want to do that?  Easily cleaned after the winter and I am not aware of anyone out of thousands who cover these items.

A strong polybag with a strong rubber band or bungee would do it if you must unless appearance is everything?

I think he means a complete cover that will also go over the aerial.

A rubber sealing strip around a plant pot to prevent scratching and a piece of foam underlay over the status with the point removed.
