Quick mod for the weekend!

Post by Nige_RS4 » Mon Jun 19, 2006 3:10 pm

I'm not usually a big fan of non-performance enhancing mods :lol: , but I though for less than a tenner I would give this a shot (it is completely reversible if I change my mind).

Here are the before shots;

Here are the after shots;

It's actually brushed alloy (not plastic) and is a functioning antenna - I thought it might suit cars with brushed roof rails and/or mirrors.

What'ya think?

I wasn't sure myself, but the only other option I could find was a black one as per the latest S4 avant

or stick with the naff OEM bee sting.

I am wondering is an S4 B6 or B7 aerial do fit an RS4 B5? Could be a nice mod too. 8)

Defo wouldn't touch black with brushed rails & mirrors, but I like the sound of body coloured - slightly more difficult to do (my spraying isn't all that good), but worth investigating. Thanks.

Must have very reduced performance over the standard fit. Don't forget Smith's theorem that states 'Aerials are like tits, the only gud'uns are big'uns'

Quite like the colour though!
