One of these:
IMO not as nice as my Richbrook alloy aerial lol

but should look OK with a bit of color-coding and smoothing onto the roof in place of the original aerial. Looks a bit "bumper-car" as standard eh?
You can get one from FK Auto btw...

Yeah, the pic I posted from FK Auto looks like its ready to be painted up or something. They're usually colour coded to the car. Sorry 'bout that
