how about just using an early corsa one, and cutting it down, if it bothers you that much :lol:

Well, the aerial didn't fit. It was a different thread and I can't return it 'cause it was a special order.

Anyone need a Frontera A aerial?

I take it that it must be the Frontera B one that fits :(

You can, but you might not be able to cap it.

What do you mean the dates? It saves creating a new thread :P

Well I've just been and picked up the external aerial for a Frontera A from Vauxhall and it's no shorter :( it was a special order so I couldn't return it. But because it's just one bit of wire, without the silly wire twirling around it like Corsa B, I can cut it down and re-cap it, as advised by the parts guy that did the same with his Nova aerial.

Theres one sure-fire way to find out though :)

But it Vaux - so even if they were prepared to do it - start saving!

Vaux more than likely woundn't do it, although year ago when I was first looking into it one garage said they sold a kit for £210. Never saw it or anything though.

Vauxhall would more than likely say its a 'factory fit' option therefore wouldn't do it to a car on the road.

mine are cav ones too.
pretty much a straight fit, only thing i used was where they screw on, i used the corsa mounting rather than the cav one as its a different shape.
very very easy to do that
