I see you're in Melbourne too Steve.. Keen on a group buy?!

@LastV8?: Hi mate.. Is that short aerial OEM or eBay? Any noticeable difference with FM reception & GPS performance?? Cheers

Don't know if I may have passed your car then (didn't notice any with blacked out number plates)? too busy distressing after driving through Melbourne traffic/variable speed signs and toll points!
The standard aerial is abnormally long, and it looked sort of strange at first after the swap considering I had a VE before, but it does lower the car profile somewhat. A cheap upgrade that can be easily swapped.

yeah, Melbourne traffic sucks...and the tolls...don't start me.
I'm getting my aerial from JHP @Captain Courteous

Nice one mate!
So is the installation easy (ie twist off?) or tricky?

...Dw I just read the description on the site "Easy to fit - screw on"

As my missus always says: "use your eyes ********."

It's still in the box...I'll swap it over the weekend. Yeah, apparently just screw on. PS the lovely sales assistant said to keep original antenna in car for when travelling in rural areas. It may need to be swapped back for better FM reception. (As mentioned in previous posts above)

Mine came with 3 threaded screws so there is still the challenge of choosing the right one

I have a Redline off the line on the 19 Oct and have been informed that there will be no black roofs close to shut down on the 20th,damn, but got the big spoiler,looks like it's out with the ebony black spray can when I get it or glad wrap the roof.

Our Redline came off the line first week in July... I'm starting to wonder if you will have yours before me ! It will be six months at the end of next week since I ordered ours
My son got all excited a couple of weeks ago thought he spied it in the dealers holding yard..... it was the middle of the night he must have been hallucinating!!
Rang the dealer last week just to get some idea when we will see her, still sitting on wharf at Christchurch he still didn't know when she will turn up !
I'm sure I'll forget the long wait when I finally get behind the wheel

Hang in there guys...it's soooooo worth the wait!
