You know what they say....short and thick does the trick
.....long and thin just won't go in!

I've kept the original as I don't think it is too long, however I think it would look better if it was swept back like most roof aerials rather than sticking straight up in the air. Anyone know if any aftermarket aerial is available that would do this?
The aerials pre-Cooper S were swept back but they found that the S's big spoiler banged into them! To cure the problem they changed all the aerials to "straight ups". I don't think any screw in aftermarket aerial can be swept back - it is really the base that would need changed for one with the threads at an angle. I agree that the angled ones look better. I might steal Fontal's!
Many years ago, i had an SR Nova - yes, i know, but it was before the neds turned them into sound system bangers - i got the bee-sting ariel fitted.
The best base i found was from a VW Golf GTi - it had just the perfect angle for that car. Maybe suit a MINI too.
