Teaspoons 1st Gear May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 It's a working antenna cover. The original mount is still there. All I did was to unscrew the antenna, screw the wired piece which is part of the cover to the mount and just place the whole cover over the mount. The cover looks big on its own but guess the x trail is really that big. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gry8VKnUqcw ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antenna cover looks pretty cool so I'll probably be looking to change to it too! But it seems that the visual garage website is down currently. Are there any alternatives online?

But it seems that the visual garage website is down currently. Are there any alternatives online? Thanks for sharing! Just send them an email, they will reply, need to give them the colour code of your car as well which can be found under your bonnet. Then they will spray paint the fin. All in all it took about 2 weeks for the whole process.

I think there r some online sites selling e shark fin antenna.e.g. aliexpress n ebay. Thanks, bro! I booked it in January though..color's brilliant white pearl..heard that brilliant black's pretty hot so no stock when I was talking to my salesperson then? Thanks for the recommendation! Think the next few weeks, will see more X-Trails on the road as my shipment was one of the big batches coming in (According to my salesperson, around 20-30 new units) these few months.. Btw, not sure whether bros over here think pumping Shell V-Power helps for this particular model..as its non-turbo, not sure whether 98 or V-Power will make a difference though..any thoughts from the bros here?

Steelblue66 3rd Gear May 21, 2015 Share May 21, 2015 Good to see some activity in this thread Quite rare to see X trails on the road at the moment I also got the white for my wife - at first we chose the red (because my own car is white), then we changed to white because we saw the actual car in white and she prefers it For petrol, I would go with mostly 98 with the occasional tank of V power Doubt it would make that much of a diff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs can only see the difference in steering & seating capacity, Adventure electric steering & 6 seats vs. Premium hydraulic steering & 7 seats.

Tristan21 Neutral Newbie May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 Nice! Is it easy to fix? E x trail original antenna is so long? Y dun consider the shark fin antenna? Yes it is easy. Screw off and screw on. The original one is quite long but the multistorey carpark at Junction 8 was the only place i encountered the problem. To me, i just wanted a quick and easy fix, moreover it's on the top where i can't even see. As long as it works, it's good enough for me. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
