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

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.

£3.99 says they fit most cars 5mm 6 mm fittings included,

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

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.

thats more like it. maybe the dyslexic fiat guy read 51 instead of 15...

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.

yeah i got one from a scrapyard for a pound in the end. the old one wasnt snapped off it was just bent beyond repair.

thx for the replies all [^]
