Thanks, thats a good deal!!! :smiley:
Can you get a close up pic, not being over fussy but it looks like the flared part of the stubby aerial overhanges the mount? perhaps its just the light making a shadow. I just want it to look OEM as possible :wink:

Fitted mine today, but the reception aint as good as the Jag x type estate aerial I had fitted previously.

it follows the line of the base, there is a little gap between the base and the ariel, but i could possibly sort this by chopping some rubber out of the new Ariel

SHOCK HORROR 182_blue!
Is that white chalky staining I see there on your ariel mount??? 182_blue I'm shocked at you, after trying to keep my car as clean and shiny as yours I now see you have secretly been using AutoGlym products :sick:
Get some trim detailer on that pronto to get it back to its black "as new state", thats an order! :wink: :angry: :cool:

Just in time, I need a new aerial for the Mk4 and this looks like it will do - the old one is perished and splitting where I can only assum the previous owner used a dreaded car wash!!
Should fit a Mk4 I assume?

Look at Markymarks, its the one, fits like its meant to be on there. And its a genuine VW part.
-
there is a gap with the cheap one as can be seen in my picture, im either going to try and chop some rubber from the new ariel, or fit a little washer to fill the gap
-
I bought the Honda S2000 one of ebay for £8 its a bit longer but looks good dont think theres a gap either, now for the scary bit.advertise it as a mk5 golf aerial and pay £23, advertise as s2000 only £8 i know which one i bought :laugh: :laugh:

For £11.30 you can have a genuine VW part that fits, looks great and is really short, giving a clean look.
As for putting a Honda part on a VW, Jeremy Clarkson would have a heart attack!!! :wink:
-
i got as far as taking the old one of and that was it got side tracked. :laugh:
here's a thing though the prev aerial on mk2 seat leon which looks ident had a tamper thing on it where as the golf just screws out? would have expected it to be other way round.
pics will be done soon.

Which replacement do you have K4ith? Does it fit ok and can you get your normal radio stations?

Just ordered that one as well.
I already have a very short (3 cm) antenna, but prefer the looks of this one. And hopefully a bit better reception.
For 11 pounds or so worth trying.

-
I bought the Citroen/Pug one off eBay that you got 182, its fine in good siganl areas but when signals not 100% the reception is awful. Think I will be changing mine back :sad:
-
Bought this,
Decent reception but not quite as good as standard aerial. Looks better than the silver one I originally put on too :cool:

Played about with mine... A better fit now
(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/martininwillerby/09052008255.jpg)
No problems today getting radio stations... Tried all my presets 100%. Works just as good parked under my car port.

what did you do ?, looks like its been in a vice !!
-
It also looks bent, if you follow the line from the base :sad:
I'll post pics of my replacement when it turns up from Canada!
-
Just checked... Not bent and hasn't been in a vice. Must be the light.
I was able to get the thread more recessed and also chopped a bit of the thread off...
I'm pleased with it anyway...

Asking the same question?
-
i boght one from ebay too. looks the same as 182. doesnt look as bad on with the gap, and i still get reception
-
forgot to post this, this is my S2000 style stubby aerial.
(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e170/b44fy/DSC00085.jpg)
-
looks bigger than the base that one
-
I am not 100% happy with it, may buy the one you bought 182_blue.
tbh i dont notice the over hang.
-
The Citroen one is totally unusable for me. Slight impovement if you force the seond tuner to radio rather than TMC but still not good at all. Never had a blip even with the factory fit aerial.
