thanks JJ

yep yep. They come off newer VWs such as the golf5 and need modifying to fit. MikeM sells them for £40 I believe

Got the PM and replying
Cheers guys!
I have sold a few of these on various forums (crafted from all original parts) and can have one ready for delivery if VW have a final part I have been waiting on this week. They are newly converted sharkfins to work with the Lupo/Polo and other similiar aged VW's.
Its a Mk5 Golf aerial taken apart and rebuilt with other parts inside, to work with the previous generation of VW/Audi etc
Here it is in its final modified form
and here is mine after I colour coded it
Reception is not as good as the original aerial but find its fine in mine (some use boosters to help, but I have not)........its a compromise between style and functionality to be honest and I have no complaints with it like others that have bought them from me.
I sell them for £40 + £3 recorded delivery unless you pick it up from Bournemouth
