On the minispeed site it says that the Alta antenna does not fit cars manufactured from July 04 onwards. Is this correct ?

I recently purchased the Ultrik aerial from Minimania and I'm not totally happy with it. The reception is fine and so is its height. However it looks a little weedy sat on top of the roof part as it's very thin.

Could anyone advise me the diameter of the Alta one as in the pictures I've seen it looks larger.


Cheers

I am getting an ultrik short stub ariel for Christmas off the other half. Minimania.co.uk for that. (£20-25ish)

Richbrook do a shorter than standard gloss black antitheft aerial £12.99 or so halfords sell that (I think)

They also do a matt black stubby aerial about the same price but shorter than richbrook. i had the alloy version of that (silver) on my old car...it was good.
