Put the Citroen on my 3.0Si (£5 brand new off Ebay). No probs that I noticed with reception.
Took it off recently in favour of the original...because the stubby looks s**t!

Got a link to the Citroen one - I'd like to test one for morbid curiosity since I do prefer he stubby look but you may have seen a my previous comment that the reception was awful so I returned to the whippy.

Probably gives better reception than a stubby aerial :exitright:

It's a while since I bought and I only have my phone at the moment so can't copy and paste the link but it's the one when you go into EBay and type in "Citroen Aerial". It comes up with a "Genuine Citroen
C2, Xsara etc..." And costs £8.95 ( I paid £5 at the time and maybe with further searching you could find it for less than 8.95).
I think it's both genuine Citroen and Peugeot.
Hope that helps

Didn’t get any signal with my whippy anyway, so went for looks and the stubby won. Aux and Spotify sounds way better than the radio :thumbsup:

I prefer these, no loss of signal, look better (imo) than stubbies and whippys.
