Thread: Aerial hole

  1. #11

    Sure those will be LHD lights ^^^ If they are ex-north america.
    Or flic an email to them and ask

    Anyway, just heard back from my mate and he did get these mk5 lookalikes (as on the silver VR) ex-usa (not sure where from) They were of course LHD but have been modded to RHD (only just though)....his other mate who did the install said this was a PITA and took heaps of time to do and he would never do it again....
    He and I would only recommend buying the right lights first time from a RHD country ie Japan, UK, SA etc

    They might cost a little bit more but they will be the correct lights for your car
    Unless you can find a set with LHD/RHD adjustments...

    DavoVR6 sorry for the thread hijack, hope it's ok

    Or he could mean going from fender mount to a roof mount aerial. In that case it requires loosening the two rear side trim, removing the window upper trim bar, pulling the headliner down a bit to allow u to drill thru the roof. Yep i said drill. Then u reroute ur antenna wire, not sure the best place to do it but i would run it down a pillar then onto the floor side mouldings then to the dash. Is it worth it? Prob not to me...

    Probably not worth it i reckon.. but I like the look of the roof mounted antennas alot.. are there an "dummy" antennas available that are just stick ons?

    Talking

    Pretty much the only reason you dont have an aerial in ur front left is because one day the vr6 was going soo fast the aerial caused soo much drag it ripped the whole panel out and the people repairing it decided that if they put it back there it would happen again so they gave it a bee-sting.

    but seriously, whats the best way to remove your stupid bee-sting. who needs the radio haha. is bondo crap + primer + paint the best way?
