look at blaupunkt aerial, mines fitted behind the rear view mirror

http://www.blaupunktdirect.co.uk/antennas-aerials/am-fm/funline-am-fm-disc-antenna.html

the disc is behind mirror and the 2 think clear tapes go across top of screen that you cant really see. works a treat on mine.

On my first Mk1 I installed a bit of bell wire around the front windscreen rubber. Epic reception.

When I had some paint done on Sharonas wing we stripped the paint back to find that 3 holes had been drilled on the drivers wing in the same area. 2 had obviously been wrong and then the actual aerial 1. Confused
