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?
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.
