Guys and girls

I want a smaller aerial on my BMW E46 Vert (Yeh i know it`s not a Mini)

I am sure i saw some of you guys with smaller ones on there car at the Perth Meet

I have one of those twisty looking ones that you get on a corsa:I

Any ideas where to get one that would fit (Think they are all basically the same) and does not loose any signal

Thanks guys

The problem with the small aerials is that you do lose signal, most car shops have them in and there's different fittings cars.

Believe it or not - i got mine from halfrauds - they do a kit with 3 different lengths of aerial and the top and bottom bits screw on and off - it only costs about £10 too.

Myself and Zimbo have a HOnda Civic one ;);)
It's a bout 5/6 inches, black stubby rubber, from abour 2003/4 :D

Looks miles better han standard, and I think it was reasonably cheap..
Whatever you do, don't ask for the Civic Type R one, cos it's aexactly the same, but costs nearly twice as much!

Here's about the best pic I've got of it! :I:D

i'm with LnL on this. I have a Honda S2000 aerial on my car, though i suspect it is in the same as the civic aerial and i've experienced no signal loss and it looks great and was a perfect fit on the mini. I just took the car along with me to the honda garage and asked for an aerial and tried it on and hey presto. Worth a try.
