I have saw a vRS this morning with what appeared to be a CTR ariel, didnt get a full glimpse of it but am sure it was, as the car following was a CTR and it looked the same

Is this a costly mod or is it a quite straight forward?

Are there any other ariels which are similar to the CTR one which fit without "much" modification needed and still give good reception :confused:

Thanks, Chris.

How is the removalble part of the vRS arial attached?? is the treaded 'stud' in the ariel or is it in the base on the roof??

I believe the stud is on the ariel (but on the Octavia you cant unscrew it all the way.)

On the CTR the stud is on the ariel too, looks like maybe a 4 or 6 mill thread. So it could be a striaght swap. Although you might have to 'blend' the bottom the the CTR ariel into the vRS base unit. IIRC the removable part of the CTR ariel is about

Yes it's on the arial, i'll measure how big the thread is tonight.

Anyone swapped the std aeriel for a CTR yet?

some one nicked the aerial off my dads CR-V, so own up, who was it?

Was thinking that myself..lol

I have one on my Vrs. It can be any civic (the same Mk as the type R)

Is is a straight swap, just have to push down hard when screwing in it so it catches the threads then it goes on fine.

Reception is fine not MW though, saying that i dont have a booster for my aftermarket head unit.

I got mine for

If you can have a CTR that cheaply, I'm going to visit my Skoda dealer and get a standard aerial

It was pretty hard finding the post I wanted. Tried so many different spellings I must have got confused how to spell it correctly -

Yeah, I felt all smart when I checked your post and proclaimed you the winner. Moral of the story for me: double-check before posting smart-*** remarks.
