Surely you could get a booster on it to jump it up a bit to make up for the bad reception.

them stick on interior aerials are normally amplified... all the ones I sold were all poor reception (cheap or expensive)

In that case, the amplifier is lame, so what about a stylish small fin one? If your not keen on a huge one.

Apparently so! I asked a guy in Halfrauds and he said any of the 'universal' ones would fit my MK2........

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

lol, when I had the car resprayed, I got the aerial hole covered up, thing was - I never bothered putting a replacement in. Makes me laugh that I still get a signal simply just using the wiring with no actual antenna.
