I almost never listen to the radio and instead use my iPod for podcasts, audiobooks and music. So if there is a degradation of signal, I would rarely notice. That and I had the stubby antenna arrive before the MINI so I couldn't even compare the two!
As far as installing, it's a simple matter of unscrewing the old one and screwing in the new antenna. I'd recommend adding some loctite to the threads.
I got my new wheels and tires on now! just need to get my springs installed and I'll be a happy man
O.Z. Ultraleggera 17"x7" et37 (matte graphite) and 215/45RZ17 Michelin Pilot Sport AS
I just purchased non runflats from TireRack - 215/45ZR -17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. No prior experience with them but they appeared to be highly rated.
Thanks for the :top:! You have one fine looking MINI :congrats::congrats:
Perhaps it's the nice weather but after exchanging waves with you on 695, I got 3 more waves on the way home. Went 4 for 4 today :embarassed:
My Spring list is long...
Finally straightened out my real license plate and removed the smashed up license plate holder and badges. (someone had apparently run into me while I was parked somewhere)
Biggest spring project:
My NM springs (hey, springs for spring!) will go on once I get my new wheels the beginning of next month. Buying OZ Ultraleggeras (matte graphite silver) and probably Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (205/45R17).
Next biggest project:
Paint my grill trim black and my headlight rings Chili Red if I can find some....
Then a bunch of other 'stuff' that's less of a priority.
Looking real nice! Enjoying the slightly warmer weather down there now as well, I bet! :top:
I'm flying down to Atlanta in May, but going back down over Labor Day weekend for DragonCon with my son...Driving that time! :motor:
