Aerial???

[laura_g]

Hey was wondering if you could help after a new aerial as quite frankly the size of the standard aerial is abit ridiculous, so what one do you suggest instead that will still gain full signal and isnt chavy ?

Cheers all :y:

just go for a standard bee sting aerial can pick them up in halfords just simply screws in

[AJ_SAXO]

or reduce the standard one?? :homme:

ok thanks will pop by tomorrow, is it a black one?

I dont like bee sting areals think they are too small. Get one from a 206. Same as a saxo one but just about half the size and no change in radio.

i pulled the little plastic end of mine, cut the ariel in half, sanded and smoothed the end of it because it frays a bit, then heated the plastic end up and pushed it back onto the now shorter ariel. looks factory and costs nothing

Was just about to say the 206 aerial is what i've gone for on mine.
Prefer the shorter stubbier version, apposed to the metre long standard or charva is bee sting :p

Im wanting to do the same, how much are they from Halfords ? Cheers

[LeeM]

cant believe anyone would buy a 206 one, literally took me 10 minutes to mod mine

[laura_g]

i suppose i could do that but knowin my luck id mess it all up

rite think ill cut mine in 1/2 tonoight still go the 3 foot version on atm lol

i cut mine in half took 2 minuites and then drilled the ball on the end out abit to fit on the bigger diamiter halfway down is easy and looks better than a 206 arial in my opinion

[Matty_VTR]

the 206 one is only £4.50 compared to them £15 awful ones you get from Halfords.. Bit of a bargain tbh.

i removed the hole thing even the mount and installed a vauxhall corsa mount with a bee sting only took about 30mins took some modifacation to get it in thou had to drill the hole in the roof out bigger and mod the wiring to get it connected but sounds exactly the same no difference
