Makes the car look more modern I think and goes with the look of the car. Very happy with it.

Mine is a Renault stubby. No problems at all in 7 years

Looks like someone has taken a pair of scissors to a proper one

I have a StubbyJR https://www.cravenspeed.com/stubby-jr-a ... -z4-coupe/

Easier when using a cover... no noticeable difference in signal.... its how you use it.

With the antenna diversity these cars can have decent signal even without the external antenna. So when maiming, err modernizing the design, why not go with these, instead of leaving a third left.

I’m off now to buy some more whippy wax.

No issues at all in my experience with radio reception. Why is it such an emotive issue though? It's cheap enough to have both a stubby & a whippy & takes barely a minute to switch.

I dont think its actually emotive bud, more just teasing. Personally i think if you want a stubby just cut it off with a pair of wire cutters, looks just as good

No, not as nice as a stubby

Looks okay, I just prefer a stubby

From your signature your a fan of the early Star Treks like me, ask yourself did Kirk have a ruddy huge ariel sticking out of his communicator. Illogical Captain.

LLAP.

It’s a Whippy all the way for me, not sure what this infatuation with stubbies is all about.

Sod the aerial, that Melbourne red looks lush in your picture.

I like a whippy as it keeps me on my toes when cleaning; trying not to have an eye out!
