hey guys, just wondering how easy it is to replace the aerial on the wing of my gtII? how do you get into where it is? under the arch somehow?

Jack the old girl up, remove the wheel and the plastic arch shield in the wheel arch and all will become clear. :chill:

Just dont get rough with it on the wing end or it will rip your paint bud.

cheers, i took it off from the open end and it looks like its been put on badly before as theres a bit of a dent, should be ok when i seal it up though, any advice on a decent aerial to replace it?

Ah, cant help you there, dont really listen to the radio so I didn't replace it, just covered the hole with a gromit, not a wallace, but a gromit. :chortle:

I'd be tempted to go for one of those interior ones tho bud...

Anyone know of a decent internal aerial manufacturer? I've heard that most are a bit.. useless.

Mine doesn't have one in the wing. I think someone must have replaced the wing at some point and couldn't bear, much like myself, to drill into it.

If you don't have, or want, a hole in the wing, you could always try a glass-mount aerial - you can get ones with or without an external antenna. Try caraudiodirect.co.uk or any ICE retailer.

Or even better get a small bee sting type ad stick it behind the radio in your dash - stealthy and it works :bye:

Boing - After collecting various bits from Lance last week, I nabbed a mk2 aerial off him for nothing – so it’s available should anyone want it – PM me
(my mark-up is very reasonable :lol: )
