sorry to change the subject but what profile are your tyres philsip?

 

[philsip]

there the classic set up

205/40/17

 

[cupra.al]

wasnt sure if you had the 45 profile there or not as they look fat on the sidewalls in the picture i really want to see 205/45/17 on our model of car and i want to know how it handles.

Got a Honda one on mine think it was £8 from the Dealer though im lead to believe that Citroen's have a OEM mini bee sting aerial that is silly small and picks up stations fine

there are so many aerials on ebay, dunno which ones are the best?

 

[mhill]

You will get little to no reception and it will look pants, Honda is the way forward my friend lol

 

[knight85]

when you say honda, you mean genuine part? not a replacement part, as seen a nice civic bee sting one, but its not a genuine part.

 

[mhill]

Its a Genuine Honda OEM part as used on Civics (not the new shape) CRV, HRV and s2000's i believe. Its around £8 and just blends in to the car wth out shouting "ive got a aerial that will pick up aircraft" or "im a chav and have a silly short aerial" IMO

 

[tkjeeves]

the Citroen/ Peugeot OEM aeriel is about half the height of the Honda's, and about half the cost too! My one works fine with an signal booster (which you need if you have an aftermarket HU)

If you insist on ebay, rather than popping to a dealer to get them, here's a search for them.

[knight85]

[knight85]

Once its loosened it just keeps turning?
Anyone had this problem or an idea how get the thing off?
