Mk7_Rbj Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have jsut returned from a 9 day holiday, during which my poor little fiesta had sat in the sun all day every day, to find my aerial which i have had for years and years on different cars, has seriously miscoloured Its almost as if the sun has bleahed the black powder coating Anyway, i had wanted to get a different one for a while as the bottom was not flush/neat with the base on the car and so i was hoping someone can recommend me a good aerial, where i also still get good recedption I noticed Nico has a Richmond.. what are views on this? Are there any better THanks RBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DONFRAMAC Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 i got the anti-theft one yeh... my mate got it for me birthday cos i was sick of having winter hill on top of my car :P it sits alright on the car looks better i can say that much.... i rarely use the radio tbh only when rugby is on and it gets signal good enough to use it :) and you notice alot i do :P haha I have a copy of the Richbrook Sabre aerial, but mine is minus the locking grub-screw which is to the rear of the ~ triangular base end. It goes up to a point in a curve, and mine has Samorai type japanere writing on the 2 outer faces. It is coated brass, and is copper cored, and is 18cm long, claiming to not affect reception, and that is my experience, even without a grub-screw onto the original thread stub. Halfords only stock a black one, but I have found a Google search found this range of aerials, in with others, available in 13cm and 18cm lengths, in black, satin aluminium, or chrome, complete with an allen key for the grub-screw. £18 for mine, from my local car accessories shop. (got it in aluminium satin finish, with black jap. writing.) Main reason for getting it is that my car is in a common colour/model, and I don't want a silly ball on top like so many others with my problem, finding the car in a big car park!! The version I have was made in Europe for Carpoint,-- www.carpointeurope.com (japanese aluminium 20.200.04), the Richbrook versions state Brass, with copper core.
