Some like them, personally I would go for a small chrome bee sting.

Can't find a picture of it painted but it looked 10 times better than the bee sting!!

Im looking for one too, i think they look great. I need one out of necessity as i need a car cover where i live and screwing and unscrewing an aerial evertime i need the car isnt in my future plans. If you find a good deal on one somewhere let me know. Fitting advice would be cool too  :smiley:

They're about £4 on eBay...I had one on my 6n Polo. Have to remove a bit of trim and peel down the headling slightly, it's just a nut on the inside of the roof.

If you fit it easy and it works cool let me know. I might get one. Although as i use my mobile for DAB radio and as an mp3 player i dont really need an aerial. The aux cable on my cd player combined with unscrewing the beesting gives same effect for free  :smiley:t

Yeah,  some of the glass mounted ones work pretty well.

tweed i welded mine up and found that i can still somewhat pick up radio (be that it does lose reception a little in certain places) figure its due to it still having the long length or ariel running through the car.
