Is the antenna on the R56 the same as the 1stGEN MINI? if so will this:

Fit on my R56 MCS?

If not then buy the 1st gen mini

good answer


unsure if they are the same...

Unfortunately not, the thread on the Gen1 antenna is smaller so they don't transfer.

We are sure Alta will produce one for the R56 soon.

Cheers,
Nick

In the 1st gen, reception doesn't matter, the supercharger creates a lovely soundtrack that never gets boring and you can control the volume with the on/off button under your left foot

I fitted my Honda S2000 stumpy aerial from my MCSC to my R56 MCS so yes it will fit. Oh yes £10 from Ebay.

Great to see a shorter aerial on a new Cooper S - can you tell me whether it is the 3 or 4 inch model from essentialmini.co.uk
