Have you fitted....?

[youngsyd]

The VW OEM shark fin aeriel?

If so did you have to cut the plug off and reuse the standard one?

Cheers!

There is an OEM shark fin??? Where???

hmmm

[youngsyd]

Yeah, the part number is off Vrstu's website.

I think its maybe audi/vw part mind....

The plug for the Fabia aerial is different so its had a cut and shut, but looks great, and performs great too!

Im going to post some pics up tomorrow of it fitted, as its a tad dark now!

Thanks for that Lummox.

[Basil]

Did you have to drop the headliner as well to fit it?

Looking fwd to the pics mate....

[youngsyd]

Yeah, it was a bit of a ball ache but got there in the end!

[youngsyd]

UPDATE!

Here is a shoddy pic, that ive just taken.

Scuse the mucky car, thats what travelling between Scunthorpe & Lincoln 6 days a week does for your cosmetics!

looks good syd

[youngsyd]

Cheers mate!

It took some getting used to at first!

[Basil]

very nice - looks great.

The headliner removal re-fit is the only thing that would put me off. Major jobbie - well done Syd!

[youngsyd]

I olnly moved the rear part, its not hard to do, just awkward to get the nut back on as it has a weird washer!

Hi Syd,

Hows the reception with the sharksfin fitted?

I've just fitted one to my Octy 2 but transferred all of the electronics over too from inside of the Beesting.

The reception is not too bad but is certainly not as good as the standard.

What do you think?

Have only ever seen one of these fitted to a Golf MK5 on a '57 plate GT. In my opinion... yuggghh :eek:.

Its huge!!

As a word of warning. This OEM Shark Fin aerial weakens the radio reception by a great deal. Actually it weakens it so much that you'll be lucky to hear anything when driving on countryside.

If you wan't smaller antenna, use the OEM Sharan antenna (6.5cm) which you can swap by just pulling the old whip away and screwing this in it's place. This antenna has as strong radio reception as the original.
