right, since i had my wide arch cnversion ive had noariel, i smoothed it over not wanting a fookin tent pole sticking out of my arches, but now as im getting it ready to sell i need some ariel options, the only one i can come up with is the silly shark fin tye they put on BMW's,

 

does anyone know of any in car ariel that i could hide away, or does anyone have any idea's, ive got that little in car phone ariel stuck to my rear qauter window, i was wondering if i could modify that to work

 

idea's please, only serious ones though

Shark fin aerials looks a little poop. You could fit a bee-sting type roof mound aerial. I've seen someone else on here with one fitted and I think it looks good. You'll fit it to the bar that runs between the tailgate and the t-tops. They are cheap and would look good.

thought about one of those aswel, will look into it

do you still have a rear wiper? cos what i'm thinkin is, remove your rear washer jet and put a bee sting ariel in there, and it would'nt take much to re-route the cable.

You could try and use the one built into the rear window, that looks similar to the heater element.

didnt know there was one there, how do i locate and use t, any ideas

 

cheers guys

I don't know what sort of stereo you have, but I have got a Blaupunkt Autofun DAB Aerial in mine, it sticks to the inside of the windscreen. I got mine free with my head unit, but I think they are about £60.

Its small and tucks up in the top corner of the windscreen so you can't see it.

Reception has been good, I did have some problems when the old analoge aerial was still attached, but no I have removed that its fine, just got to smooth over the old aerials position now.

oooh, sounds interesting, anyone got any info on thuis

the stock stereos had an ariel plug with 2 pins, 2 wires went into it (one from the rear windscreen (front screen on a vert) and one from the electric ariel) the stereo had a diversity reciever which chose the strongest reception between the two.

 

when your aftermarket stereo was fitted, either an adapter was used to go from the 2 pin connector to the standard ariel conector or the electric ariel wire was cut off and a new plug fitted. either way there should be 2 bits of ariel cable behind the stereo, i think the window one is slightly thinner than the electric ariel one

cool, willhave a look today

something like this stella http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-RADIO-AERIAL-STICK-ON-INSIDE-YOUR-CAR-PEUGEOT-GTI_W0QQitemZ120228310461QQihZ002QQcategoryZ1498QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

not sure how good they are though.

i had one of those above in my mini .needed a live feed also as i remember some sort of booster in them. They fine as long as your radfio pulls a good signal

I have one of these fitted in Shel zx and my own and they work fine

cheers guys, ceejay, got any pics of it fitted

Just taken some now for you if i can find my lead to down load to my pc i will post them up shortly other wise i will after wait till i go to work mate

cheers bud, your a goodun

Sorted here you go

nice one, looks like im onto a winner, are all the cables hidded, and does it just stick to ya windscreen

You need to take the roof linning down really do do a good job. Then all the wires are hidden and it is very easy to connect the electric feed mate

I got my aeril from Halfords

nice one, looks like im onto a winner, are all the cables hidded, and does it just stick to ya windscreen

 

 

allan, there will be a double sided sticky pad already on there. run the cable along the front of the roof lining, down behind the A post trim & behind the dash. easy job mate. you will have to connect the wire "presumed red" from the aerial to the red wire on the stereo loom.

cheers guys, wil pop along to halfords tomorrow
