Stubby and Peugeot part number

[Z4-CJ]

Hi Guys,

I was looking around for a stubby and wanted it too match as much with the base as possible. Eventually I ended up at a Peugeot dealer (great tip from this forum!) and with a helpfull Peugeot employee we found the antenna with partno. 6561.N3 (in the oother thread there was no partno. so thought it could be helpfull for others) at EURO 7.91. I think it would match 100% if mounted from new, my base lost a bit its colour but it still looks great and very happy.

I noted that driving around the city centre, I got slightly less good receipt on the radio, but this is only between high-rise buildings

looks perfect, nice find

That's brilliant. Just what I'm looking for! Nicer looking than the mangowalk imo.

Mango walk is the official Z4-forum stubby, this is an imposter and the fit doesnt seem quite so good IMO

I have it from the Citroen C8. It fits perfect. And the cost are € 5,45... it's the same as the antenna from a Peugeot 807.

Aesthetics over performance? Sorry to be boring and outside of the Z4 clique but I don't mind my normal length aerial that gives great radio reception...

Saying that, I prefer the looks of this stubby over the official Z4-forum Mangowalk Stubby™

If the base has discoloured, try some chemical guys new look trim gel

alright i give up - just got home after the other half picked up my stubby from the Peugeot dealer on her way home (she even paid! (theres a first tiem for everything lol)) but still, I digress - I have a problem.

how the **** do I get the old one off, I've tried the standard twist like unscrewing it, but the bloody thing won't budge for love nor money (nor talking sweet nothings to it either lol)

Any suggestions?

[TH3R4POR]

you do unscrew it, righty tighty, lefty lucy etc

[speedski]

I've tried that - i have a really horrible feeling it might have been glued or soemthing, its just not budging

[TH3R4POR]

A previous owner could have put thread-lock on it, considering how easy they are to remove that is probably a good idea, they don't come with it from the factory though.

[speedski]

balls - I think they must have done, just tried again and it aint moving - I want to use pliers, but then if it is glued then it will screw it up.

grrrrrr

[TH3R4POR]

personally I'd use the pliers, it's your aerial though.
