personally, i don't really like it, because i think it would stick out

maybe if the whole thing was silver, might look good on a silver car

You will also find that reception is crap, as it is with my short stubby JDM style one.

Yeah - think I'll leave it. I like the black standard aerial myself. As long as I can listen to Moylesey on the way to work I'm fine.

I personally think the silver ones are very Tacky.... have a mate with an is300 with one, and it looks very Corsa!!

I would stick to the standard or better go for the shorter black ones

I reckon the silver ones attract too much attention to vandals.

I can back you up with personal experience on that comment!!

I have a short 3.45" black one on now and it looks class...got it from ebay and the reception isn't too bad!

Mine was £7 from Vauxhall - it's a frontera one and about 2/3 length of std one. Bought it when std one was stolen. Think that was about £15 to replace.

Anybody ever tried one of those that are hidden in the bumper or the window? I'd love one of those, I think it would really give the car a smoother look...

My old Beamer Compact had the aerial built into the rear de-misster in the back screen, and it was good.

I have one from a Honda S2000 on mine. Looks good and good reception.
