I wouldn't bother pal they wont work very well. The only ones they work on are the factory install navs and the early models that have the ariel in the back window. I think its possible to get some sort of dash mounted ariel though and just have the rear roof jobbie for looks.

I fitted a genuine VW one to my Leon and the reception was pretty poor, so i took the gubbins out of my original one and fitted them into the shark fin casing and i now have near perfect reception. Unless your willing to do this, i wouldn't even entertain the idea of fitting a shark fin mate.

If you PM plush Automotive he can help i remember he went the whole nine yards and had his roof lining down and still ended up with a dash mounted ariel. He is a very reputable when it comes to audio equipment. He can point you in the right direction.
