I've found the CTR ariel's successor



  172 Cup
A short while ago I was looking around for pictures of the CTR ariel on Clio 1*2s. Since everyone was fitting them I thought it would be a nice subtle upgrade considering the standard ariels are horrendous looking!

However I eventually stumbled upon this picture which shows how they do not fit flush with the base plate and I just couldn't live with that, so I decided to forget about it.

That was until earlier today I noticed the ariel on my Dad's Mazda 3 MPS, so I unscrewed it and tried it on my Cup and would you believe it, it fits perfectly! (Excuse the phone pictures)

And it misses the Cup spoiler...

Here's the comparison between MPS ariel and standard (excuse the arm)...

And a side-on shot...

So there you have it. I'm buying one at the earliest opportunity, don't know how much they cost but it'll be worth it to be rid of the standard excuse. Thanks for looking in.

PS: oh and I tested it with Radio 1 and it works perfectly! :)

Sod buying one just nick your dads!

I did contemplate it but the Clio ariel would rub against his spoiler. hah. f**k it, I might put it to him later on, see what he says. I've got a fair idea though. ;)

Cheers mate. My dad's just agreed to a swap, couldn't believe it. He said he doesn't care as long as he can pick up Signal 1. Bonus! :D

Nice find!
The question is; is the reception from it any good?

I heard the ctr one isn't great.

Update: Been to Mazda today to order one for my partner's Clio and they cost £12.98 plus the VAT, for anyone who's interested.

I don't have the part number at the moment, I will ask the bloke on the desk when I go to collect it Thursday morning and post it here.

Will PM you the reg Steve.
