Discount code-ALTA?

Been searching all day, can't find anything.

Is there a discount code for NAM members with ALTA?

I need my stubby antenna.

Thanks!

Alta usually publishes when they have a sale.

Looking for a deal, contact them and ask.

Lady G,
I got mine from Pete at Minspeed. He is not a NAM vendor, but you might check his website for price...

Good Luck,

Larry

Thanks y'all!

Can you tell me how big the one is from Minspeed? Looks like 3" or 4"?

Hi Lady G. The one I got from Minspeed is the 4" antenna. It looks right on the Mini. Not too big and not too small....just right! Here is the link http://minspeed.net/

Hey Lady G... I have never dealt directly with Pete before but I know of him through SunshineMinis. Everyone has said hi praise for him and his business.

Alright, I know some of you will kill me. But I'm one of those who actually uses the local drive thru car wash (w/ 2 little kids, I just can't find time to detail the way many here seem to)...in which case, is this okay with the stock antenna? Or do I need a stubby one?

My MA showed me that the stock one bends back rather easily, so you should probably be fine?

For $27 bucks, though, it's a cheap, easy MOD.

So, totally clueless here...

What's the difference/benefit between the standard and this stubby antenna?

It's just personal preference I guess. To me, the stock antenna is too big. Kinda makes the Clubman look like a remote control car! Which isn't bad or anything.

I just like the cleaner look of the stubby. (everytime I say that word, my mind goes straight to the gutter...I'm so mature. )

Hmmm. OK I was just curious, cause I really am pretty clueless when it comes to these things! I was sitting here looking at the stubby (yeah, there could be a better term ) antenna on the web asking my husband how different it was from the one on Galileo...cause I've honestly never noticed . And with the car wash question I just had to ask! (This whole Mini experience is teaching me so much )

Well at least I am not the only one who thinks like that.

Lady G,
Pete is a good friend of mine, he has done lots of the work on my car. I know you will be happy with his product. Chances are its the same thing you would get anywhere else.

I too do the drive thru car wash, then take it hope to a spray wax....looks good enough for me. Before I had the stubby I had no problems with the stock antenna, but I really like the looks of the stubby.

Now I have to figure out if I will like it with the roof spoiler.

Happy Motoring to you all, and have a great Holiday weekend.

Larry

As of yesterday there's a labor day discount code "LABOR" as well as a labor day sale at ALTA. Guess it's a little late though

I think the 2" is too small for the Clubbie, personally.

So is the product being sold the base+antenna or just the antenna that I assume you screw in?

Just the screw-in antenna. Easy peasy!
