    What kind of ariel should I get ??

    I have a new wing fitted and I have sprayed it, and I didnt drill a hole for an ariel.

    I was thinking about a bee-sting but want the car to look original [:s]

    What do you think I should do?

    Anyway should I just put an ariel back into the wing??

    I like the idea of having something built under the dash though.

    I would mount a standard aerial hidden in the engine bay horizontally, if you catch my drift.

    Seen it on loads of custom cars. Saves cutting holes in outer bodywork.

    There are also stick-on windscreen aerials available, so theirs that option also.

    I've got an electric ariel in the n/s wing, there's a switch for it in the glovebox. Only thing with it is that it's far too tall, when it's up my car looks like an oversized dodgem or something!!
