yes i've put one on my polo 9n. dead easy to do, takes about 15mins. bought one off ebay for about £6, peel back the roof lining from the boot, unscrew the stock aerial from the inside and attach the new shark fin and close off the the ceiling. job done

i think a bee sting one is better - http://www.cartuningparts.co.uk/chrome- ... ra-meriva/ black of corse and then it take about 1m to take the old top off and put the new top on

anyone got any info on how they affect the reception?

Everyone seems to be avoiding the reception question!
are these aerials a waste of money?

I tried one briefly. It was alright actually, not as good as the normal one obviously but seemed to hold stations well. I've got an aerial amplifier for my head unit so maybe that was why it worked.

They are only about £10 on ebay. Worth a go at least.

Think shark fins are overrated! I know a mate with a corsa got rid of his and got a Honda civic aerial which I love the look of and reception is great!

I've been told by a master tech at my local VW that most of the roof antenna's are there for cosmetic reasons anyway, specially on the newer models. The antenna is infact built into the rear window. I have a 6R Polo and i've unscrewed the roof antenna and it actually makes no difference at all! Now i've figured that out i'm contemplating buying one of these:

Anyone have any pics of a swapped out aerial?

ive got one of the aerials off a bora on my polo its a straight swap from the old one and looks miles better imo

but the reception ive got isnt too good
i have heard u car get boosters for the signal that fit into the back of the head unit but ive still got a standard one in
