I have this one, which allows me to use my roof mounted aerial. Works pretty well for me:

to be honest, the government made about as crap a job as they could fitting the Dab Radio broadcast network (it's OK if you only listen to Radio 3).

That's why the "digital switchover", which was proposed to happen more than ten years ago, hasn't happened, and we still have FM. Probably will for as long as we have petrol powered vehicles.

Which ones have you used so I can avoid them?

These are 2 of the 3 that I have tried, the powered one is the best of the bunch but still loses signal regularly, let me know if you find one that works.

I was looking at this one last night, seems too cheap to work well? I have been looking at standard aerial and fitting a splitter, but I can't bring myself to drill a wing

[JXC Mini GT]

I am of the same view, don't want to drill the wing, I will give this one a go, you never know it might work.

I fitted this one that came with the radio

 

The aerial bit sticks to the screen, needs a 12v supply, works ok till you get deep into the countryside. They have a disc type on their site www.classiccarstereo.co.uk

 

 

At 50 quid it's a bit of a gamble I think

I  did fit it and I have to say its the best hidden aerial I have tried so far, however it still loses signal frequently.

 

Let me know if you have any success with  the ones you try.

I'm going to take a chance and order the expensive one, I'll let you know how it goes

Been to the post office this afternoon to register the GT as historic, 12 months road tax for free, nice one

Just looked through this, what a cracking thread. Top job.

Thanks for the kind words mate.

Not done much to the GT of late, still waiting for the new door cards from Optimise, when they arrive I'll put some pics up

[GT Jimmy]

My new door cards from Optimise came this week so I fitted them this afternoon after work, well worth the 12 week wait

 

 

Nice and squishy for the added feel of luxury lol. They go better with the alfa seats than the original brown cards, which are now stored in the loft with the original seats

 

 

That's probably the last I'll spend on the GT  apart from servicing and fixing it, maybe... probably.....erm.... nah

Like the snooker ball window winder handles! Goes nicely with the gear knob. Also, those seats really look comfy!

Thanks mate.The pull handle for flipping the seats is a no 3 pool ball too, I need to make the bars longer, I made the subframes work without the seats on and they're an inch too short, doh!

The seats are super comfy
