My car is nearing the end of it's time in the body shop, and I've seen in one of the pictures that the one of the wings used has an aerial hole. I really dislike the chrome telescopic aerials and it looks like the electric ones won't have enough clearance with the wheel. 

 

So, would one of these work in its place? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53f09b9889

 

I would imagine a signal amplifier would be needed as it's quite short, very low down. More to the point, would it look okay?

 

Any thoughts welcome

You can be quite creative with a wire coat hanger:

that will work and you wont need an amp for it :)

as above - shouldn't need an amp

 

set it back at the same angle as the window screen & should be ok

I was going to use an internal aerial, but then wheat do I do with the hole in the wing?

Can't really help you there, mine wouldn't have had a radio originally so there is no hole in the wing.

I did actually. I supplied wings with no holes, but for whatever reason ones with holes were used. 

 

It's not an issue really, as I need ones with side repeater holes anyway due to the age of the car.

My dad's car has a 'bee sting' ariel fitted to the rear quater as it's a cabriolet. Could you not use similar ? It's black in colour. Would be a shame to just shove a bung in the hole on yours.

This is it.
