Shark Tale Antenna

Dear Users,

I'm new on this site and I'm glad to be part of this fantasic site.

I have a small problem how to modificate my mini 2002.

At the moment I have the factory antenna/arial and I would like to remove it and fix the SHARK TALE ANTENNA.

It there somebody who already did this modification? Is there any help? Please....

There are some threads that talk about it. Use the search and the keywoard "shark fin"

What I've seen people do is buy a universal functional shark fin antenna off of ebay. Make sure it's the functional kind. Swapping the old one for the new one took less than a minute to do without tools. Everything either screws or snaps off.

I bought a similar one in black. I have a black roof so there was not need to paint it. You'll need to buy a screw the same size as the screw on the bottom of the original antenna in order to fix on the new one. Just take the original antenna to your local hardware store and they'll get your the right size. I whole thing shouldn't cost you much more than $20.
