    i think the best one is the 106 gti ariel. its about £4.50 from pug, its small, its subtle. Looks better than having a gay shiny halfords one imo.

    The shorter aerial isn't only a 206 aerial, it was on some of the 106s too.
    
    
    Either cut down long one, or the shorter Peugeot one.

    I remember someone saying on here that you can bond a washer to the underside of the roof attached to the old aerial cable and still get a signal.
    
    (Might be worth a search)
    
    Then either get a roof plug from pug/citroen or get it smoothed and sprayed by a body shop.
