Thinking about a new antenna.
I've read about the s2000 one, is it best to buy it from a Honda dealer?

Also the one from Alta looks nice.
Being aluminum does it offer anything over the plastic/rubber kind

Best to go 4" or stubbie?

Thanks

 

Mercedes C class is even smaller...

 

how small?

 

I'm quite pleased with the S2000, you can pick it up at any Honda Dealer or even one of the online parts suppliers occasionally have them for even cheaper once in a while. Great functionallity, my ONLY gripe is occasionally I wish it was angled back about 20 deg. but that is minor and ocasional.

 

...this is the best I have:

 

I had to take it off because the Alpine hu I have has shocking reception. The MINI hu was fine with it though...

 

How about how much?

 

Tit,

Looks like you have a bad case of Cats.

Get a Dingo or somethin'

Nice Antenna.

Very COOL!

Is that from a Mercedes C class?

How $$$?

 

i bought mine of ebay for like $10. did a search for mini cooper and tons came up. Reception is as good as OEM antenna. much cheaper

 

I got a S2000 off a seller here in the Marketplace. I think it was like $11 shipped. Looks great and works better than the OEM.

 

I got one off Ebay for $8

 

I bought mine from the local Honda dealer for I belive $25.00. I get
almost the same reception as the stock one, but I like the looks way
better.

 

I like my Alta stubby. Just the right size and good reception for $30 + shipping.

I actually like OutMotoring's stubby better and it's $5 bucks cheaper. I am probably buying a couple for X-mas gifts for a few college friends who have boring stock Mini Coopers.

looks great Tit, ive got a Thule roof box on my MINI most of the time, and my
Alta stubby is now too tall. Looks like ive found what ive been looking for!

 

So...
from what I'm seeing it does not matter what the antenna is made of
as far as reception goes

 

i go without an antenna most of the time, and i still get great reception

 

I can't help you with prices in the US. I was quoted AUD$100 (about USD$80) !!!

But my dad has a Merc and his dealer 'liberated' one for me off a demo car when my dad mentioned it to him. So it ended up costing me a bottle of wine as a thankyou....

MGCMan - do the cats have birds feet Ohio? haha... :P

 

i guess im the only one who likes the oem remote control car look

 

I like my Alta, no problems and I picked it up on Ebay for $20.

 

I've got the Ultrik stubby. It's really small too.

 

Nope, I thought about changing mine until someone mentioned the remote control car look. I like the OEM one.

 

Doesn't the OEM one make it look like a remote controlled car?

I had 5 year old boy (no joke), look at my car and say, "I like your toy car." He really thought it was toy car.

 

i like the remote controll car look too!

 

Here's mine
