DIY Shark fin ideas

hi, like many people i think the mini would look better with a shark fin antenna. Has anyone successfully adapted or installed an aftermarket one to suit and work on the mini?

I have been thinking of a few options, the first is that maybe i could get a Genuine sat nav one and modify it so i could fit a small aerial in it. I think this is probably the best option but will probably be very expensive, anyone know the cost of the part?

The other option i have is to get an aftermarket one but i am worried about how well it would seal to the roof, i dont want any leaks!

I have a dummy shark fin made out of rubber that i could possibly use, it is almost an exact match for my pure silver car, if i took the aerial base off i could just stick it over it and it would probably look great but i think it would leak and there wouldnt be much space for any kind of aerial inside it.

I'm just after ideas/suggestions really, i do use the radio but would happily sacrifice a bit of signal if i could get the look i wanted
