Thanks, thats a good deal!!! :smiley:

Can you get a close up pic, not being over fussy but it looks like the flared part of the stubby aerial overhanges the mount? perhaps its just the light making a shadow. I just want it to look OEM as possible  :wink:

it follows the line of the base, there is a little gap between the base and the ariel, but i could possibly sort this by chopping some rubber out of the new Ariel

SHOCK HORROR 182_blue!

Is that white chalky staining I see there on your ariel mount??? 182_blue I'm shocked at you, after trying to keep my car as clean and shiny as yours I now see you have secretly been using AutoGlym products  :sick:

Get some trim detailer on that pronto to get it back to its black "as new state", thats an order! :wink: :angry: :cool:

I see the flies and other wee beasties like yours as much as they do mine! Everytime I look at it there's some wee beasties crawling about it!
