i've got smoothed wings now and no aerial either. was gonna put on a bee sting but dont think it would look right with my spoilers but i thought that you could get interior ones that just sit behind the dash?

i bought a beesting aerial then changed my mind about putting a hole in the roof so have left it in the boot and it works fine

ive seen some that stick to the top of the front windscreen. There about 30cms long but very flat, hardly noticable.

Connect it to the heated rear screen element- acts as an ariel.
Just dont switch the screen on...... :roll:

Why not try a beesting in one of the door pillars?

Would make a tidy job with wiring too as the drivers side has no thick wiring under the trunking on sill.

I have no ariel and smoothed hole but want to put an ariel in and was going to fit a beesting into the door pillar, just put some expanding foam around the tip to stop it tapping and wobbling around.

Don't see why it wouldn't work!

Although these flat ones sound like a good idea, possibly mount them under the roof lining for the ultimate in hidden ariel.

my aerial is in my wing some were, i dropped it in there, so i just put a bung over the hole and it actually works.

not quite what I meant by an internal ariel but at least we know that it works now :lol:

doesn't that rattle around a bit??

So it is possible to mount an ariel inside the car out of sight if you have to hole for one on the wing and to still be able to hear the crap on the radio.

never heard it yet. can still here stuff on the radio but i dont really listen to it,but it works so....
i rekon it'll work wen its in the car, might just want a stronger ariel if you can get one.
