Post by: paulm007 on 03 May 2007, 12:39: I think it looks Ok tbh, questions are though:

Where did you get it?

Was it easy to fit?

Any degradation in signal strenght, quality??

Cheers

Got it at Ultimate Dubs trader stand

Dead easy to fit as it had interchangeable threaded studs to fit different aerial thread diameters

No degredation in recetion that I've noticed

Post by: Hurdy on 03 May 2007, 15:43: Oh bug*er, it's not looking good (in more ways than one!) :embarassed:

Looks like I might end up going back to Source for a shark fin.

Some things look better off a car than on :cool:

Post by: Hurdy on 03 May 2007, 16:16: I'm keeping the original in the boot, just in case some magpie takes a fancy to it. Minedew, looking at how the poll is going, I don't think I'd mind if someone did take it now :cry:

Post by: p3eps on 03 May 2007, 17:55: BANG BANG - you've been shot :grin:

Makes a classy car look tacky if you ask me.
Where do you get the sharks fin, cause I think thats what I'll do if my car ever arrives?
Also - how easy are they to fit?

When you said in that post that you had to de-solder / solder the connector, I assume you were meaning from the original aerial onto the new one?

yep, just basically cut the coax and solder it back with the right plug, easy :smiley:
Title: Re: MY AERIAL
Post by: p3eps on 04 May 2007, 20:26: Cool... I was worried for a second that I'd be trying to change the plug whilst it was attached to the roof!
At least if its a straight swap over I can do this inside!

Post by: p3eps on 09 May 2007, 17:43: WOW!!!!
I ordered the shark fin one like BMX's on Friday morning from the same seller on ebay - in Hong Kong.
It arrived this morning!! VERY impressed with the service.

Now all I need is a car to stick it on :laugh:
