Chrome aerial

[milodog]

i'm looking for a chrome aerial to replace the standard black one supplied with my ds3. i was wondering if anybody has replaced their's or can anyone point me towards a good site. can you get them to fit straight on or do you need an adapter. i've seen a few on ebay but i'm sure there is more on offer on the internet somewhere. would like a anti theft one.

with all the chrome trim available for the DS3 i'm surprised Citroen don't have a option for the aerial

WARNING

I bought a "Beesting chrome arial" on Fleabay about a month ago. It appears to be going rusty already.

yer thats the one i seen glad i posted on here first instead of sending my money off. at least its a easy option to change back. but jez only a month or you just having acid rain in your part of the world.

If you look at the aerial you will find that it isn't just a plain rod, it has the "element" wound around the aerial core, there are so called Chrome aerials around but I seriously doubt that you'll find a decent equivalent to the standard aerial. Most of the so-called anti-theft offerings are a poor replacement, "Shark Fin" aerials need to be power boosted to provide a satisfactory signal....there is NO convenient supply at the site of the aerial mount.

and heres me thinking its just a case of take one off put another one on

Don't think acid rain is especially bad here.

I will go and unscrew it to investigate and report back in a few mins.

Wierd Milo and apologies,

It really looked like rust but with elbow grease it has come off leaving smooth chrome behind!!!

Confused now.

I brought a cheap Ali 1 off ebay - looks good and signal seems fine. Might oxidise over time but will clean off Ali easily. Was only £2.70 when i brought mine..!!

I have a small official Citroen C5 one and its as good as the one that comes with the car

Crazy thing - took my beesting arial off to examine (as above) and forgot to put it back on!

Been driving round all day listening to Radio 4 with perfect reception without the arial!?

No John has a reasonably good working knowledge of tv & radio transmitters,

Could be on account of the fact that your area is served by 3 fairly high power BBC transmitters

There might be a connection there.............
