Title: anyone tryed fitting one of these?
Post by: Nino on 12 November 2012, 11:11
As title says, stumbled across this and its got me thinking...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shark-Fin-Car-Roof-Mount-AM-FM-Radio-Aerial-Antenna-Mast-VW-BMW-Navigation-Style-/320995535700?pt=UK_Other_Clothing_Protection&var=510082287007&hash=item4abcd32b54

But are they a paint to fit? I mean how do you even remove the OEM one and would I be able to get that new one sprayed?

lining off at the back and there is a bolt holding the old one in, undo and remove and install the new one, I personally would blank mine off given the choice, never listen to the radio lol
but what you have found as long as it is quite small should be ok, seen some on other cars and they are massive!

Not sure on those shark fin aerials, look tacky IMO. How about the 8" polo aerial? I have one on mine its awesome!

As for removal/fitting, here is a guide: http://forums.generationdub.com/showthread.php?t=16270&page=1

you dont have to remove all the headlining, just enough to get at the bolt holding the antenna.
Shouldnt take long at all to actually do -
