Hey

Can anybody tell me where I can buy a good quality bee-sting aerial in Australia (preferably Melb.)? I've seen plenty on eBay but I don't like to buy without seeing it first-hand. Plus I'd like to know it won't be a dodgy one with poor reception. Ive phoned several retail stores who i thought would stock them but so far no joy. Any help I'd really appreciate:)

Forum sponsor Lloyd Blackpool MINI (http://www.mini2.com/forum/lloyd-blackpool-mini/) ships to Oz - the OEM stubby aerial is really nice! :)

See here: Special offer MINI 'Sport' Aerial (http://www.mini2.com/forum/lloyd-blackpool-mini/183767-special-offer-mini-sport-aerial.html)

That does look nice, thanks for the tip! :)

You are better off buy ex UK and OEM parts - cheaper in the long run and being OEM you know it will fit.

I've bought plenty of parts from the UK and had no hassles at all. Given our strong exchange rate over the past 12 mnths has made it even better value for money.

Just my 2p.

Definitely like the idea of OEM and that's about the best looking antenna I've seen too. Thnx for the tip. I phoned a few dealers since you posted this and the best price I've found locally is about $59. So I can save a bit and wait for delivery ex UK or pay a bit more and get it now.. Hmmm... My impatience might win out. The main reason I want one is so I can put a car cover on, it's a bit hrd with that big dangly factory fitted unit.
