Aerials (show me yours!)

[Jimbo_M]

Right i want a shorter aerial for the cup and i have a mazda 3 mps one in mind...does anybody know if this will fit? I know some people put Civic type R aerials on clio's but im unsure wether they fit 'flush' with the base?

Has anybody else got any suggestions? ohh and any pics would be appreciated, Thanks chaps.

type R The end ! dont fit flush but look great

 

[Jimbo_M]

have you got one dude? if so any pics of it?

 

[S TAYLOR]

Ive got a Honda Jazz Aerial on mine i think its the same as the TypeR one, although im unsure.

Good question. I wouldn't mind a different aerial on mine. You can probably see my standard one from Sunderland lol.

Haha!

The pics of the jazz aerial looks like an ideal length but looks like it hangs over the base quite a bit...or is it just the light?

 

[Mike...]

Stupid question... again.

But how do you get the original off? It just wont unscrew at all, I've even had the pliers round it.

Blagged the photo from google but I have this - Its a citreon c2 aeriel and it doesnt get very good reception lol (possibly as I live in Cornwall and not much works down here)

Not that it bothers me as I usualy have my ipod plugged in

New shape megane one on mine - looks identical to the standard one but a good deal shorter!

No pics at the moment - I went to get some new bits from my mate at renault and saw the fact it looked the same but shorter, so I pinched it to try and never took it back

Get a shorter one shave 0.1 of second of your 1/4 mile due to reduced drag and less weight

Ive got a kia cee'd one on mine

So am i right in thinking a mazda 3 mps will fit my 172 bang on mate? I just dont want to go and buy one for it not to fit lol

 

[Dan1587]

Mine is off a DAF 45 LF. And its tiny, about 5cms. It fits good too

 

[sidey]

I've got the Mazda one, it fits perfectly same diameter as the base unlike some I see that overhang a little. Looks great reception's fine too. No pic, soz

[Jimbo_M]

[adamlstr]

Lol at my roof, iPhones HDR mode made it look like broken glass.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Cheers lads thats a great help!

 

[jimjim150]

I had a CTR one before, got so annoyed that it wasn´t flush!! lol.

Hmm I like that VX one...

 

[jam.]

What about ph1s? And the crappy adjustable base on them.

Is there anything else suitable for them that doesn't look a complete mess?

Also is there any legit reason why standard car aerials are so bloody long?
