roof mount and buy a bung from the bay...my bung was from tierod69 but they dont seem to have any for sale at the mo but could be worth an email

oh and all the 16v have roof aerial but the pre 96 8v had a wing aerial!

I've a 16v but have a wing mounted aerial (think its had an accident).  Its not connected and Im looking to remove it.  Got the blank off ebay, but the aerial seems tricky to get out.

Anyone got any ideas?

you gotta take the arch liner out or at least enough to gain acces to the arial, then pull it from the inside, its attaced to a braket, then on the outside u need to remove the rubber holder, mine was a real pain in the ass!!

i now have no arial at all, dont want one on the roof, gonna get a window mount one and change the front wings to later type with no hole in it..i got the bung tho to put me on, got it at the dealers.

no/hidden arial = its the future :wink:
