Shark Fin is the GPS antenna, pretty much standard in Europe.

 

That's why most conti cars got shark fin.

 

It's not an accessory.

Have you done or check out the comparision of hidden antenna and GPS transceiver?

 

At one point of time, a lot of japz cars have their FM antenna on the windscreen but reception is terrible. nowadays, you see the antenna back on the roof..

Very Handsome 3/4 View - take away the fake wood trim and wow - great interior too!

 

but if they use the piano finishing, it will look nice but hard to maintain..

 

think carbon trim is better..

 

anyway, I presume it will be strip bare when it hit singapore [:/] as always

I never have any reception problems with hidden FM antenna and GPS/GTS transeceiver. Comparing yester-years car with external Antenna and the last 2 cars that I drove with hidden Antenna, hidden is better. So it is highly possible to do concealment for these thingies. It is not rocket science or what. It is just a Conti trend to me.

yup, guarantee + chop over 100k

 

the 1.8L now selling around 83k I think. Great bargain!

 

Very worried about reliability; friends Zafira II fuel pump quit at 63000k's, warranty claim denied, 1800+ bill!!!! Mine ECU failed at 63000k too, and was almost denied a 100k/3yr warranty claim. What a shame....its a nice car...
