dangnabbit! bent our aerial :(

put it thru a carwash and forgot to take the aerial off didnt i! doh! [:o)]

rang fiat and asked how much they'd charge for an aerial for a mk1 punto.....




£51 + VAT!?!?!?!?!?!

is that right? for a screw-in bleedin aerial?! i had a look down the scrappy but for some reason (deliberate or not i dont know) the only 3 puntos there were on top of the piles meaning i couldnt get to them :(

looked in halfords but couldnt see anything fiat-specific :(

can any1 tell me where i might find a correct-fitting reasonably priced aerial?!

cheers [^]

I do not think that is the correct price. No way. All you want is an ariel mast.

dave: no way i would let my mrs put max poo products on her car! :p

fiatexpert: yeah i agree, but thats what they guy told me. i just sort of chuckled, shook my head and hung up. ill ring a different dealership and see what they say.

might be worth getting a universal aerial, but what size is the thread on the punto? 5 or 6mm? or something else?

No forget the universal one. Most of them lokk ugly anyway. I think a complete ariel is only 16 quid ish.

That was just example there are other makes on ebay, I don't see why you can't climb up and get that one from the scrappy (just don't stand on the good bonnets) offer them £10 and they will probly climb up and get it for you.

I've just bought a new aerial for a 55S from Fiat - it was £10.

Aftermarket aerial will only fit if it's broken above the screw fixing, but it normally snaps at the roof mount so an aftermarket won't help.

all things must pass.
