A6 Avant C5 aerial replacement

[deanogtv 0]

Looking at replacing my worn, tired look aerial on my 2002 A6 Avanat. I've noticed that its a problem on a few car that the rubber base becomes corroded and starts to peel of the actual aerial. Ideally I'd like to change it for a shark fin type but I'm guessing this maybe more hassle than what its worth. Therefore I recon the 'bee string' option will be my only option, just don't want it to look too chavy.

Anyone done this before??? can recommend a product??
