laumk7 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm thinking of getting one for the roof of my car, spraying it white so it matches and so on. Would it A work ( I've got Dab), and B would it look right? This is the fella I've been looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WA1PPLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_BQKPwbXEYYN4Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Shark fin tends to look better towards the back imo, don't think it would look right at the front.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Very good valid point I hadn't actually considered tbh, ahhh well scratch that idea as drilling holes I ain't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I always find the idea of how odd it would look interesting. After all, a sharks fine is in the middle :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am coming around / u turning on this, but I still ain't drilling...I'll get someone else to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Try it first before you drill to make sure your happy with it no going back once the holes are made Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwoody Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think it would look really strange on the front - they are usually on the back of the roof - I would just go for a stubby richbrook one if you want to change the look a bit. I did see shark fin ones that look like they fit over the factory base though when I googled it so looked like no drilling. Would still look weird imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I read somewhere that rear aerials don't work properly (if at all) for DAB reception. Although I can't remember why it was, other than the signal will be patchy, if not poor to non-existent, from a rear placed aerial Ignore^^^^^ Edited January 26, 2016 by GMX Turns out to be incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ooh I might u turn back then, it was going to be on the back, I wasn't going to be doing the drilling though I don't listen to the radio often but when I do I like it to actually be there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I want dab to work properly. Seems my standard aerial and connector doesn't offer great coverage... Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Didn't Mindel get a Ford's DAB upgrade kit for the Mondeo (Part No. KITAERIAL2) replacing her existing aerial cabling, mount and aerial itself then? http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_mondeo_aerial_upgrade_for_dab_radios_f_KITAERIAL2_c_1402.htm How odd! It's cheaper for Mondeos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 unfortunately the pricetag was / is too high for my budget at the moment :( still trying to find it cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
