Stub Ariel....

Would this one fit the MK5?

Any experiences?
Is the reception still as good as the stock ariel?

If you do a search a few people fitted them a while back. Don't know if Hurdy had one for a while...

seems fine for me but i rarely listen to the radio - i suppose if i'm picky i would say that the recption isn't as good as the standard aerial but that doesn't bother me

Are the shark fin ariels available for the MK5?

Google is your buddy.

Bloody hell - £100 to have that, and to have it colour coded???
I'll stick with the stub ariel idea!!!

I got one of those and they work a treat. I have fitted it to the shark fin that came with the RNS-510. For some reason my shark fin came with a bee sting aerial too. Swapped the bee sting with one of the stubby aerials and looks and works brilliantly.

I've literally bought this a few days ago. Posted some pics up over at the other place clicky

Works fine so far but need to try the radio on the motorway to see what happens. Will let you know in a coupla days.

i've had the stubby for nearly a year and if you live in London and listen to magic fm (and who doesn't have that tuned into their radio) I can confirm that I start losing magic's signal around junction 12/13 of the M1 which is pretty pretty far up north. This is the same with the standard bee sting aerial that came with the car. I think the Mk5's have dual aerials the bee sting and one built into the rear window. Not sure but that's what I thought I read on one these forums.
