Thinking the fabias ariel is a tad long. What have people replaced the standard ones with? How easy are they to fit?

I have just got one of them bee sting ariels, in chrome finish.

They are very nice, but good luck getting your original ariel off; anti-theft!

more than a 'tug' i'd say!

anyone else got one of these, whats your signal reception like?

My OEM aerial got snapped by some low lives and i replaced it with one of the teeny tiny Citreon ones.

Looked great but didn't perform so is now rolling around under my handbrake.

I've actually put the bottom half of the OEM one back in as it gives better reception.

Might be a biased review though as the poor reception could be down to a loose aerial connection in the back of the HU.

Plan to investigate further at the weekend

Pastyboy I see your from Cheltenham! Thats only up the road
