   Getting my roof sprayed at the end of the month. All booked in. Can't decide weather to keep the aerial or smooth it in.

   Smooth it and then just dump a load of cable connected to the arial in the roof lining.

   I've had my roof sprayed black and had the ariel smoothed. Looks ten times better smoothed and you can get internal ariels that sit inside on the windscreen. Apparently these ariels have better reception than the standard ariels. This reminded me i need to order one of these lol
