Styling Aerial Snapped

[jhine]

Hello All

As a result of some idiot playing football, I no longer have an aerial mast or base - they have both snapped off. I have just spoken with a Fiat dealer in Lincoln who have quoted me a total of £97.97 including labour.

Could anyone recommend where I am able to pick up both the mast and base please? Looking at fitting, it appears I just need to remove the headliner which seems simple enough but if anyone could confirm, that would be much appeciated.

Dropping the headlining may be more tedious than you expect as it is held up by door seals and grab handles etc., so allow plenty of time and don't strain it.

Here's a selection of DAB antennas, http://www.nexxia.co.uk/products.asp?s=Car Stereo Fitting Kits&c=DAB Antenna
a search on Google or similar will bring up suppliers of others one of which will do nicely. Connects2, who make most of those listed also do a variety of non DBA ones.
Find the one you want, then search online for it. Should be no more than £30.
Might be an idea to check the mounting hole size first, so a bit of a faff to gain access twice.

(Just been researching an external DAB aerial, but not yet decided on a head unit, or not.)

Thank you. Certainly not worth £40 labour

Looking at it, the hardest part will be the headlining lol
Have you tried ebay for a replacement? I've picked up a couple of decent (non-DAB) aerials + bases for about a tenner each
