Yeah, that's why I was thinking of using the one I linked to in my OP. I was just wondering whether people thought it would look good or not.

Oh, I see.
Skim reading ftw.....
I'd say so, black would suit your look.

Edit, the one you linked looks a bit 'old fashioned' to me.

I had one pretty much the same as the first one you linked on my red mini when I had that done. Looked alright. I ended up getting the holes welded up though as I was going for a more clean look.

If they've fitted wings with a hole in when you provided ones without, make them fill it in and repaint - you didn't want a hole, you shouldn't have to find ways of using it!!

Bang on.  They used the wrong wong, make them do it as specced!

I really can't be bothered to be waiting even longer to be honest. Not when it's this close.

But why didn't they fit the wing you supplied Harry? Seems very odd to me.

I'm not sure, perhaps the pair I supplied didn't fit, they were very cheap. But as I think I said, they actually did me a favour as well as these have the side repeater holes, which mine needs. The ones I supplied did not.

Get creative. I've been thinking a Frenched aerial would look cool, just have mount it inside the wing somehow.

I use one of these:

http://www.ebay.co.u...=p2054897.l4275

Does a decent job for me.

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

 

weld it up :) paint over it

 

Bit late for that  :P

Love the shell, paint work looks stunning!

I used to put roof mounted ariels on mine, metal sprung type above windscreen, the VW type "bee sting" ariels would look good at the back.. 

Rubber grommet to plug your hole?  O_O  O_O  O_O
