What's everyone make of this?

Saw it in the flesh at the UK motor show on Sunday and thought it quite ugly. Really sad it's replacing the shark fin too.

Further to that, there'll be no easy way of fitting an 'old' shark fin to the new model, as the new aerial is both GPS and radio receiving whereas currently the radio aerial is in the o/s/r window glass if you have navigation (or phone prep too on foreign specs).

The last picture I saw had it on the top of the front window. If that is where is really it, then I think it looks really bad, and wouldn't want it.

That's the convertible only as there's no roof to fit it to on them.

I am kidding, just have to stick with the hard top

Here's a pic I took at the dealers on Thursday, due to collect the car tomorrow!

Personally I really like the new aerial, only the base that is different isn't it? I think it looks more chunky and sturdy, not too worried about it, hasn't changed much!

However, another user 'Baz F' collected his facelift Cooper S last month and says it had the old aerial though?

Oh no!!

Where am I going to fly my Scottish Saltire flag from on my new Mini?! The aerial on my 2001 MINI is absolutely perfect for it!

Sorry,

It is just the way I have taken the photo that makes it look like a short aerial! LOL

My aerial is still the long aerial like your current car has, just has a new base!

I'll post a better pic when I get the car.

You'll still fly your flag!
