I feel like everyone else has aftermarket antennas. I really like mine, but I feel like eventually because of how cheap all of the other ones are that I'll wind up switching it out.
Anyone have a Mini with a decent amount of mods on it and keep the factory antenna?
I don't think there is anything amiss with the OEM antenna - not even a mod I've considered really, and I'll consider almost any mod that is as easy to put back to stock as that
I'm keeping mine... primarily because I don't even want to chance interference for the factory Nav... but also because... hey, it's OEM... and my car is Mr. OEM.
I purchased a stubby antenna, had it on for about three weeks, and put the OEM antenna back on...ended up I liked the look of the OEM better. That was about seven months ago.
I had a stubby antenna and some one broke it off and damaged the base. I replaced the base, which was a PITA, so now I'm going to keep mt OEM. I wish I could have caught the ---hole that broke it off.

Yes me, and I will not change it. It's just a black thing that sits on top of the car.
Changing it won't make my MCS handle any better or make it go faster.
I swapped out the stock antenna for a black stubby. It suits my MINI much better.
YES .... I do fly R/C and full scale. Radio reception seems to be the same.
Reminds me to put Jack Reinder ball on my stock antenna.
I have my family send me replacement Jack ***** every 4-6 months!! Too bad there aren't many Jack in the Box eateries in North Carolina!! I like the idea of the little clown ball up on the antenna laughing at all the Nederlanderers behind me!!!
GPMINI still has the "R/C" antenna - I like the look, I guess I'm used to it after 5+ years of MINI driving.
I just ordered a nice looking Union Jack antenna topper for it; we'll see what it looks like on the car ... but no stubby for me!
i still have the OEM antenna i love the r/c look and if i need to find it in the parkinglot all i got to do is put a stremer or a balloon full of a bount gas and tie it to the antenna
