Got a chubby for my stubby!

[trailZ4]

Decided to try fitting a stubby and pleased I did! Probably the easiest / cheapest mod I'll ever do to the car Radio reception seems just as good as it was before which was a slight concern.

Here's a few phone shots:

Before

After

Photo aint great but pleased with the look of the stubby, although I really didn't mind the whip tbh...

Good mod. Car looks great colour with those wheels

Colour combo - paint and rims is great, love the tidy plate too! Stubby sets off the lightly modded look too

Much better.
It's even straightened your car out taking that whip off.

Radio reception would not be affected on FM as the aerial runs across the inside of the rear bumper. The wing aerial is only used for MW or I areas of poor reception.

Cheers for the feedback

Ah didn't know that cheers. I was just concerned as some people on this forum had switched back apparently due to poor reception with stubbys. I rarely listen to radio anyway but good to know my FM stations should still be ok.
