We can do mine too (tomorrow), as I got a nice matt black one (as a birthday present from GLPoo), and I believe you get at it by removing the interior light cluster. We shall see.

does that mean you have a spare functioning normal aerial?

Yes and you can have it complete; but I then need a new screw on ariel (black preferably), so could you nip out and get one please? I've got some car bits you can have in exchange.

A car accessories shop perhaps!

Or even peugeot... I bought myself a new base from them was something silly like £4!?!?!

Aaah, you see the key's in the question.

 

I would like just a standard (OE like) black whip ariel. Just a pattern model is fine *in black!!!*, length as standard (about 30" or so), and most accessory shops should do them. Probably be £5, which I can repay if you need or exchange?

I've still got the OE packaged short mast from Peugeot. I didn't give you that as I assumed you could re-use the one you've got. Plus, it was only supposed to be a little Birthday gift, so I thought that including the extra mast would just be a step towards a declaration of utter gay love

Take off the interior light console. Looking up you will see a stepped metal cover and a pink aerial wire disappearing underneath. Prise off the cover - or more likely, completely destrroy it with mole grips. Throw it away. You will now most probably be confronted by a very rusty 8mm nut o nto the areial base, holding that pink wire. I find it easiest to secure this nut with a spanner or socket and turn the aerial base with mole grips. Easier with an open sunroof

Fitted a new base to mine today funily enough.

 

Slightly different than the old design, but fits. Was less than a fiver i think. And as already said to fit it
