....My 06-build came with a standard 'bee-sting' aerial but it kept fouling on my up-n-over garage door so I swopped it for a Richbrook.

Some of the sharkfins look really cool imo :cool:

I've never quite understood them tbh RR :( The base is black, so why stick a stainless steel aerial on it? It doesn't match very well.
