Question MCS aerial stump
Hi everyone!

Can anyone tell me where I can get a MINI aerial stump from? I have seen them on other MINI's. Is it a generic aerial for all MINI's or is there one for the MCS?

Thanks for your help

Inga

You mean something like this?

Alta Mini Performance - Shorty and Super Shorty Antennas

The downside to this is that some folks like to steal...

Or ultrik do one which is only about 1" long! :shock: I have one of these. They are no easier to nick than the standard massive ariels
This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool!

Simple answer is with enough hard work yep...if you want a simple switch then no its not. SatNav MINIs come with a sharkfin from factory ... but retrofit to non SatNav and still retain working radio is difficult.
