S2K aerial for Fabia mk1

[Friggerpants]

I recentley bought this off eBay to replace a crappy beesting I got on at the moment...........

But I tried a friends mk5 GTI aerial today as temp fit until my S2K aerial came through, and it doesn't fit, there's not enough thread on the aerial............

Has anyone put an S2K aerial on before, and did it fit?

I have a civic type r aerial which I believe is the exact same aerial and fits fine?

as above looks good and does the job its made for

I recently got an S2000 one too - they do fit but you have to push quite hard whilst screwing it on.

As above, you need to push it in a bit for the threads to catch

I got an new unused but second hand mark 5 golf sharkfin for close to the amount you paid for yours.

Can't get much stubbier than that mate. Not much there worth nicking either once its fitted. :no:

Reception is good enough for me to listen to LBC

That looks like what I need. I presume it fits the standard base? If so, I have a question. I've tried to remove my original ariel, but I've chickened out each time, since it feels as though I'm going to damage the roof by pulling it out. Is there a trick to getting the standard anntena out of the base? I've unscrewed it, at which point it will fold flat, but puling it doesn't feel encouraging.....

i had the same sort of feeling, its almost as though the aerial unscrews then is still held in place, i just wiggled it for a while and it came free, the citroen aerial just screws streight in no problem.

Arn't the original ariels of the Tamper proof type ? Which have a Ball on the end of the Thread which kinda pops through when first inserted & makes it more difficult to steal .....

You would of thought that the reception would be slightly poorer with the stubby as the standard one has the amplified wire running through it ....

yea thats probably what it is, it eventually comes off. ive not noticed the difference in the reception, these are standard aerials for some citroens, so they would fit them to cars if they got crap reception.
