Hello again.Some good advice here for removing the aerial from its base.Simple really but effective.After much difficulty attempting to get mine off to replace with a smaller nicer one and tugging and pulling my guts off {yes I have some before you say it} I decided to try using a 90 degree angle jemmy bar and yes it came straight out.HEYPRESTO.Just make sure to undo the aerial totally then prise between the base and upper aerial{not car paintwork}. Lots easier than any other way I tried.

Not fitted it yet.Just wanted to be sure I could get the old one off first.The one I went for is off ebay.Just type in search for leon brass bee sting aerial.Needs to be a brass one for the reception so its a little dearer than the cheap alloy ones.Had one of the alloy ones before and reception is crap on them so tryin these, the black one I thought Id get.Chrome colour is so outdated I reckon.Looks tacky in my opinion.I will try it and let you lot know if they are as good as they say.

Yes the black one.The chrome is a very subtle touch.It arrived today.Only took a couple of days to arrive.Not had a chance to fit it on yet as I work 6 am to 6 pm.

Feels good quality though.It says on the blister packaging 100% BRASS for high performance reception,micro size aerial with the performance of normal size.Comes with 2 adaptors in pack for different size threads too.Looks as though its gonna do the job but I'm watchin footy at the minute so I not got time to fit it and go for a ride to test.

Checked it out this morning and it seems pretty good reception.Just a smidgeon of interference but the strong channels are all fine.This is as good as your gonna get for a beesting which after all is lots shorter than the original one. Well happy with it.

You need to put the correct threaded adapter on when you get it,Comes with 2 extra adapters.When you put it in the aerial make sure not to screw it all the way in to the aerial because you need a bit extra thread to reach and grip in the base.

I fitted mine today (ordered in the morning and recieved next day!) Like you said the brass aerial is much better looking and I think black looks best too. All my radio channels are fine if not a bit better I don't think the aerial improved a great amount but its better than the standard one. To get the old aerial off basically unscrew until lose then twist then pull thats it. thanks again!

Looks great

Just bought one of these aeriels and fitted it to my FR . Looks great and the advice in this thread for removing old one was spot on.
Fast service from the supplier on Ebay as well.
