What are antenna options?
I have an electric antenna on the front passenger side hood/fender area of my car and I would like to have it removed and filled in and painted. What are my other options for better looking antenna installs.
Please post pics of what you've done.

You could try the 1985+ Carrera in-windshield antenna. That would be expensive however, but it does eliminate the mast that you obviously don't want.

I got hold of the normal after-market windshield style antenna and stuck it to the underside of the bonnet (where the wipers come out, and then fitted a signal amplifier - works good for me, and no antenna to be seen

Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad. I know there is a company that makes invisible antennas that fit under the dashboard.

IMO, the Carrera winsdshield antenna is marginal at best. I'd go with standard glass and install a hidden antenna under the dash like those used by hotrodders. Autoloc has been mentioned here a time or two as a reputable brand.
