What colour is your fin??
« on: January 07, 2011, 03:25:02 pm »
I'v got an OEM sharkfin to fit. I just wondered before I fit it does it need colour coding?

If anyones got a factory fitted sharkfin could they tell me if its colour coded or not.

Thanks for all the replies lads  :happy2:

I might colour code it I think, old school rattle can job!!

@Betty Its easy to fit, just remove the rear roof lining trim piece and you can just get at the nut.

There is no radio reception on the fin though only GPS and/or Telephone depending on what one you get.

The newer fins are combi fin and bee sting (as above).

You dont need to take the whole roof lining down only at the rear of the car above where the fin is going  :happy2:

Obviously yours never had sat nav from the factory?

The earlier Golfs had no beesting as the aerial was in the rear screen.
