Aerial Suggestions

I'm backdating my 87 carrera and have replaced the windscreen with an aftermarket heated one. The old one also contained the radio aerial.

1. Can anyone recomment a source of good quality chrome aerials

2. Which wing should it go in?

Or is there a less obtrusive alternative to this? I hate the thought of drilling into this brand new paint job!

Unless an electric aerial, in which case were often fitted on right wing due to fuel filler getting in way of motor etc. on left wing

Depends how fussy you are about reception!

I used to have (piece of junk) boxy Audi Quattro that had no ariel hole and a standard retractable aerial had been bolted (not by me!) inside the boot under the parcel shelf. It was extended across the car fitted with a right angle bracket.

Reception was not perfect but in a noisy old car it did the job, and as the car was only worth £50 it suited it's character perfectly!
