Pretty sure they are the same. I bought my stubby antenna from a place that didn't have to Coupe listed yet and the one for MINI fit anyway. I think the threads are standard

That's interesting. I bought the Craven one from Atlantic British. It came with two threaded parts of different sizes. So maybe that's why they sell it as fitting all MINIs.

@James,
Is that stubby the official mini part or is it from a third party? Now that I have my coupe back, I want to put on the stubby and look into replacing the side scuttles with black jacks. Anybody know if the standard scuttles for the cabrio would work on the coupe?
