stubby aerial and others

[lamdacore]

You guys know if the cheaper stubby aerials have a detrimental affect on the radio signal ?

Additionally, any other hints and tips for small yet decent mods?

Im seriously considering getting a remap and panel filter from angel tuning in ayr, unless anyone reccommends anywhere else?

Are all these straight swaps?

Same With the Honda Civic one :thumbs up:

Ewan, does that aerial fit as a direct replacement on your R56 JCW? ...mmm:confused:

[Forbes]

My one is on the r53 (same as r50)

Think all are 5mm apart from r56 jcw and sat navs or something

I believe that to be the case, think the R56 JCW and Sat Nav's are 6mm!

No ... I tried that :sad::sad: Wrong thread size. The JCW is the bigger thread size (60mm I think)

I don't think so Neil my jcw has the same thread as my r56s mate.

I bought one on eBay and it said it was for second gen minis r55/r56r/57.

It's maybe just the sat nav's that have a 6mm one then no? I know one of them is bigger like Ben said.

...to be fair, if I were in his position and it were him.. with the choices of correct it, or rip the Pi$$.... well... It'd be a close thing ;):laugh:

yes there is difrent sizes for the sat nav one as andy p got one with the scotland flag for his and it did not fit so he kindly give it to me for my GP :yes nod:

i was looking at a few aerials on demon tweeks that I like, but I had the choice of an 8v one or a 16v one, which one is suitable - I tried calling Demon Tweeks and a local mini dealer, however none were able to advise.. Would someone be able to shed any light on this?
