I accidentally on purpose switched the MINIs antenna with my wife's Suzuki SX stubby black antenna, and we both are happy with the looks and performance. Hard to beat free. Don't forget to stick a little conductive grease on the threads so that removal will be easy (unless you want removal to be hard, as in theft avoidance 8-)
What's in the hole after removing the antenna? Can water get into the cabin if left unplugged? Just curious. Have not had time to fudge with mine yet. My wife also wants to replace it.
