Kelpie 2nd Gear April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 It seems like that shark fin is being made a standard these days . Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 But whats wrong with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayd8or Neutral Newbie April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 Concealed and hidden is still the best way to do thing. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony 1st Gear April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 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..

Sony 1st Gear April 18, 2008 Share April 18, 2008 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. 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. Regards, Edited April 18, 2008 by Kelpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suxelis Neutral Newbie April 19, 2008 Share April 19, 2008 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... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
