Stubby Antenna

Category: Exterior
Price: $1
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

Hi NAM,

So a fellow motorist connected with me on Facebook to buy my used stubby antenna for her r56 as her stock one had broken and she was without the radio.

Super sweet woman without much MINI or internet savvy knowledge. Radio is her only music, she doesn't even seem to have an iPod. She was so thankful when I sent it out to her.

A few days later she received the envelope...ripped open at the side and the antenna taken out...someone at USPS stole it.

Of course they are being useless and claiming we can't prove it was them. Also, given that it was inexpensive, I did not insure it (my own fault, I know).

Sorry for the novel, but does anyone out there have a stubby antenna that fits an r56 that she can buy? Anyone in the holiday spirit yet want to make a fellow motorists day!?

Thank you for reading!

interesting story. Highly doubtful anyone at USPS stole it, if you simply use a regular envelope to ship it my guess is the mail sorting machines ripped it and the item simply fell out.

regarding a stubby antenna I have none; perhaps an ebay knockoff would accommodate?
