Correct aerial type beesting or in front wing?

[jeremybarker]

Hi all,

Just after a bit of clarification, i've recently bought a 91 J plate Golf GTI and it has the aerial (snapped so needs replacing) in the front wing. I read a post that said the beesting was standard on the last of the MK2's but looking at other J reg GTI's there seems to be a mixture of both.

What's the right one?

Wing aerial, roof aerial was standard on a 16v but option on 8v's

Thanks Wayne, that clears that one up.

Common mod on 8v's to have the beesting.  I think the wing grommet is still available from VW and cheap - not overpriced like some on eBay!
If you want a beesting, go for the amplified version.

does anyone know of a whip type aerial that would fit onto a wing of a mk1?

you need to get a lot more sorted before you worry about aerials
