Re: Shark Fin Antenna

These are now appearing on every ch@v-chariot I see, so a definite no-no for me. Once that crowd latch on to an idea it's time for the subtle, stylish and discerning car enthusiast to move on, IMHO.

Agreed, shark fins are now finding themselves in the saxo and corsa market (no offence intended)

Its getting a daily event now at work where oinks are coming in asking about them.

Big no no from me too.

Re: Shark Fin Antenna

I would prefer the 'no antenna' look - will investigate that over time, money permitting
