Missile Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Does this look ok or pretty terrible? I've just finished bodging this together out of an old building alarm system. My ariel snapped off around a year ago. This was due to every time I turned the car/radio on, the ariel raised into a tree in my front garden and over time snapped off. (Easily avoided but each morning i'd forget) Anyway I never listen to the radio so figured it was time to tidy up the old sharp jagged left overs of my old Ariel. Think maybe I need to get the chrome bit painted black. Anyway, Whats the general opinion? Edited August 20, 2009 by Missile Adding and testing links. Cracked it......

jackso11 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 hmmm. not one for me. But I agree the standard one needs changing to something nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Certainly better than stock, i have a stubby on mine, not sure on what the bits are from though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thats fair enough. I'm still pretty undecided on it to be honest. Could use a little more messing about. But have to say it's a little better than the lump of metal i had sticking out before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nice one mate think that looks really tidy. Im still after getting a stubby sorted for mine, waiting for the group buy to come up with some results. Anyway its a thumbs up from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I sense another pole coming on. I prefer the stock one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Looks pretty cool, much better than stock (better than mine anyway which is snapped off & plugged with black chewing gum ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Super bodge... This is where I got the Ariel from. Its some kind of Radio unit for my works old alarm system.

TopgunTT Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You prefer stock to that stubby or any stubby? I'm afraid so, Must be the noise the aerial makes when it's going up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I can appreciate what you've done with it mate, if you've knocked that up from an old building aerial then well done to you, you've made a tidy job of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 just unplug the stock one and leave it down. Ipod's the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 How about this then? still prefer stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I still think stock looks best when its down as its smaller than a fixed stubby, but unfortunately its crazy long when up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
