A coathanger??

A large kipper?

You could go for those small stainless look ones. Personally, I like the standard ones.

[Steve T]

yeah i like the sound of the kipper! lol

i have got a very small Alfa 156 one at home but the thread is slightly differnt. I could cut the thread out on the bit on my car to make it fit but then if it does not work then im buggered.
I cant cut the thread on the aerial coz of the way that it is made.

You could always try and re-tap the the thread in the alfa one. Then if you didn't like it, you could always refit the old one.

Another idea, take the small plastic/rubber tip off the end, cut about 5CM's off it and re glue the end back on. Be a stubby one then. That might look nice.

[Steve T]

yeah i will see if i can find it and see what i can do.

I have got a spare aerial somewhere so i can chop it down and see how that looks too.

you could be adventurous and move it to the front of the roof, like olly's used to be.

[Steve T]

yeah i was thinking about that.

my mistake, i thought he'd moved it to the back but he hasn't. i swear he mentioned doing it a while ago though.

just don't go mad on the styling mate, it looks sweet already. don't want to spoil it

[Steve T]

dont worry i dont have anything stupid or tacky planned!


What i have planned at the min is
front splitter
mabe fog lights
get it resprayed! as the paint work is crap!!
and finnish the heated seats.

and a few other subtule mods

[JohnnyDMonic]

nice, that'll look so nice after the respray

[Steve T]

Yeah i hope so! it really needs it!

Oh yeah and i might try and get a full black leather!

and tints

[AndyMk3Astra]

You could do away with all aerials!

You could wire it through the rear heated screen.

[Steve T]

I dont think that cars look right with nothing there.

nice! have you had a quote for the respray yet?

ps - agreed on the no-arial thing as well, not keen. have you thought about just buying one of those shorter ones that screw into the existing base?

[Steve T]

Well i was talking to guy at vauxhall and he wated 650 for the bonnet bumpers and wings!! but then i spoke to Evil who knows someone that will do a full car for £600

Im still looking about for quotes but i would really like to see that persons work before i let them on my car!

Yeah i have but i dont like the little silver ones that you get. i need something black. Thinking about the new vectras have a short aerial. hummmm will have to talk to vauxhall on friday!
