Mike_M Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 They bolt to the roof ok but need new guts and wiring etc to work with previous generation VWs like the Lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPall Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Mike_M on here sells them, think they are around the £40 mark. PM him.They bolt to the roof ok but need new guts and wiring etc to work with previous generation VWs like the Lupo.Would this involve taking back my headlining and everything?Also would they be compatible with Arosa's?CheersChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 You need to remove rear grab handles and C-pillar trims and then gently flex and bend the rear of the roof liner to release it to gain access to the aerial ancor nut and cables.I can take mine down and change the aerial in about 30 min or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyp1989 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I tried to put a bmw style fin on my arosa only to find out that it was too long and overhung the rear boot so it wouldnt go on. some wiring is also involved so i really wouldnt advise it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I use the VW sharkfin of the Mk5 Golf as it physically fits the majority of VW, AUDI, SEAT and SKODA but requires my modifications to work in older gen cars like the Lupo etcHere is mine colour coded: Edited October 12, 2010 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
