As said above the very first mk5's did not have an arial at all on the roof its in the back window iirc. later ones got a bee-sting.

Early models didnt come with an arial on the roof and just use the rear heater element as the arial. IMO I think they look better and much cleaner without the arial :)

I like the shark fin on mine, although as you say none at all would be even better!

Doesn't matter - great car mate, looks lovely. You'll enjoy it!

Considering I couldn't feel my fingers at the bus stop this morning, not long seems like FOREVER away :(

June will come soon though and all will be well again.
