Hidden aerial ?

 I have been thinking about losing the aerial on my front wing to get a smooth look but not sure where to put it ?
 After reading a few other forums, people have been using those classic car aerials that either stick on the window ( which would defeat the
 object ) or ones that go under the dash but apparently they are not much cop…

 Anyone here tried doing something similar and how did it work out for you ?
 Any suggestions would be great !!

I got a Kenwood digital radio from halfrauds its very good paid £100 all in with audioleads digital aeriel stick on the inside of the windscreen. That's very good.  You rear window has been collected by courier today should be with you Tuesday or Wednesday

I got rid of the aerial on my Mk1 Scirocco and brought a cheap short rubber aerial for all of £5.60 and fixed it to a metal bracket behind my glove box so it's hidden in the dash.
It sort of works but the radio reception is pour unless listening to one of the bigger radio stations and not moving with the engine running! So unless like me you listen to your own muisc and the radio is on if cleaning the car or working on it don't bother with it!

 As I have the clipper kit on my cabby I was thinking that I could either hide it behind the bumper or
 even the side skirts ?? That way I could have a decent size aerial still !!
 As long as there is a earth wire for it I cant see it not working ?
 Would need a longer cable of course.

 And thanks for posting that project1, much appreciated !!

I bought a cheapo manual extendable aerial and just slung it in the scuttle tray and secured with a couple of zip ties. worked fine…

Think I have a plan..

go down the scrappie and try and find an aerial setup from an old escort, if i remember right these had a module in the boot and the heater element in the rear window double as an aerial
