Welcome. Lovely car.

As the wittiest, handsomest, most modest diver on here, I can help with the divers questions. 8)

If you meant diverse, others can step up.

    Welcome from almost the other end of the UK to Andy. Devon. Plenty of scope for upgrades there. firstly the whippy aerial (obviously!) :fuelfire:

    Olive, its one of the most divisive style choices.. Whippy or Stubby (a bit like Brexit, only more important) :thumbsup:

    Bonjour Olive,
    Je suis very happy to welcome you to the madhouse. :D
    The length of the aerial is indeed a very divisive subject over here on our non-European island.
    There is a middle way, which I have taken, and that is to find a shorter, but still whippy, aerial.
    Something like this:

    Always happy to help if I can.

    If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
