What are we looking at? The stubby?

If so, then you want the Citroen/Peugeot one, shorter and matches the contour of the base. I’ll try and find the details.

Scroll down for a couple pictures. Looks better a little bit further from the car, but from these you can see how it matches the "lines" of the base.

Genuine Citroen part, a genuine Citroen dealer as well.

When I first got mine I also bought the genuine BMW sport rod.
Like you I didn't like it saw the error of my ways and went back to the whippy.
All happy now :D
