[ALPINE]

after seeing another ASN member do this to there arial i thought i would give it ago as i have ofter wonderd if it would work or not.

easyest and quickest mod ever... and it was FREE!!!

Tools needed:

hacksaw
All purpose Glue.

Cut off the long bit... blob of glue on the end... screw it back on! simples!

 

[MintyS3]

lol I just stuck a type r one on...even easier.

 

[ALPINE]

good if you got one laying about i suppose!

 

[A3Tom]

Looks like someones snapped it off to me. Whats the issue with the stock one?

 

[ALPINE]

the oe one is massive!!! car looks like a bumper car!

 

[A3Tom]

I like my aerial....its an aerial...its doing what its supposed to

 

[ALPINE]

yep it is true... it does what mine does!! just dont look like a bumper car! lol looks more modern i think. newer cars dont have foot long bits of wire hanging off there roofs! A subtal touch to the appearance of the motor me thinks!

each to there own and all...

Does it still work, glue isnt the best conductor,lol

 

[ALPINE]

works fine mate... all the pirates i listen to still work and they aint the most powerfull of stations!! Its not like i need it for GPS or somthing else. It still works and looks 100 times better.

the little blob of glue is to round it off and to make it water proof.

Strange this forum.. matey posted the self same thing a couple of weeks ago and people loved it!! I do it and its wrong!! I love ASN!
I mite go buy some new RS4 wheels, and lower it only 25mm, oh and get in line to make my car like every one elses! maybe i will fit in more!

Calm down, you put a thread up with a mod and people will add their opinions....mine is that I prefer the stock item as it doesnt look like someones snapped it off.

Its your car, you do what you want to it

 

[ALPINE]

dude im calm.... the should show that!!! i was simply stating a fact

looks fine to me i bought a stubby ali one and the reception is

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Honda S2000 one also fits

 

[wibble111]

Looks fine to me, at the end of the day its your car and you mod it how you fell fit to. I do agree though the stubby aerials look 100% better than the standard jobbie with the wire entwined around it, but like minty i went down the type r aerial route, but bought it from a member off here for about a fiver as he had lots of them from someone at a honda dealer.

You'll need a PC5-90 or PC5-52 adaptor if you're using a nonstock headunit. It amplifies the aerial signal.
I heard that I'd need a PC5-90 but used a 52 with my Alpine HU.

 

[ALPINE]

i have no signal issues and im running an after market stereo.

It was me, but I glued the original tip back onto the base, and it works as well as full sized one. also loads better than the honda one for reception
