Default what areial on our S1

Me and the missis cant decide what to do with the areial on her s1.

Do we go for the origonal one in the rear window or a bee sting style one on the roof?

Bee sting means less wires to struggle with when it comes to getting the wiring into the tailgate

i usually hide mine under the dash as the rear window ones are toss and bee stings are tacky as

still get a decent reception
