I got it from MikeM with the lupo GTI on here. Its got good reception - i added an aerial booster as im using an aftermarket, and it works perfectly. Obvs not as good as a normal aerial, but it works a treat :)

I think it cost £50 unpainted

It goes in line with the aerial, and has a 12V feed into it. Normally, aftermarket HUs have one of these in their loom, or it can be tapped into one of the feeds to boost the aerial. You can buy them in halfords or online via ebay or an audio store.

I sell the shark fins for £43 delivered.

They are Mk5 Golf items (£40 odd before doing anything to them), but then I gut / rewire and convert them with OEM parts to work with pre 2005 models.
