Been hanging on for warm and dry enough weather to change my aerial as the base completely snapped in half a few weeks ago. Oddly enough, driving around with no aerial and half a base I was still able to get decent enough signal on my headunit, so the headunit's built in small range aerial must be pretty good quality. Lol

Last Saturday morning we had torretial rain and weather reports said it would clear up by 2pm and for once it actually did. So with the sun shining I went outside, unbolted the old aerial base, gave the surrounding area a bit of a clean and fitted my new aerial with mascot:







Then I went to B&Q for some heavy duty wire cutters ... couldn't find any so ended up getting a JCB metal cutter tool.

Cable tied an old grille to my powdercoated mesh to stop it moving:



Then cut around it and cut some notches into it to fit over the bumper clips:





Here's how it looks fitted:







Trying to decide whether to take out the parcel shelf supports in the boot, don't use a shelf anymore what with the van floor fitted so may as well I suppose! Makes it easier to get things in and out anyways
