Post T cut'd beesting aerial?
Hey everyone. A little while back I bought a silver stainless steel bee-sting aerial for my saxo as I along with most people feel the standard Citroen "taxi" aerial is too long . I was wondering if I could t-cut it black as it would give my car a more subtle effect than silver does. Would it work ok or would it be a disaster lol I know you can buy aerials that come black but I would save money trying t-cut as I am later going to do the badges on my car.

Thanks in advance

Id paint it as you've already got the arial dude

Easier to just pop out and grab the paints for a DIY jobby and you can also keep the stuff for painting other little things aswell

Takes time to bid on ebay and you have to pay P&P aswell
