umm i have an announcement to make...

i want a nudge bar... and i found ONE company that makes them...

anyway the reason i want it is to run a better CB antenna thats NOT mounted on the body as a deacent one isnt small, but in not going a 'white stick' or in the middle of the roof as IMHO it would look ugly and be better suited on a nudge bar, plus when you sell the car you can remove the antenna and no one knows why it was there, just it has a nudge bar...

i dunno whats peoples opinions??? yay or nay?

yer i guess, the way i see it, to put a deacent antenna on, i need to drill holes... may as well cut some small holes in the bumper while i have the front end off to fix the dent (yes i havent fixed it yet even tho ive had a painted fender in the shed for AGES)

^^$595 for a nudge bar (adding a nice pack of essential accessories) i think is too much!

LOL!!! at the essential accessories!

i have the most discreet way you can go at the moment... a glass mount areial! it looks like the ones on undercover police cars just an antenna on the glass BUT it doesnt work very well IMHO, i want something a bit bigger and stronger...

After a little thinking and (mostly) googling, I can see why you're thinking about installing a nudge bar... funnily enough, it's more discreet than a CB mount system.

If you don't regularly tow other cars (which i hope you don't :sweating: ), then you can mount the aerial under the towing eye cap. An extra cap costs about €4, so you can also drill a hole for the aerial to pop out.

Maybe they pass the camera hand by hand, up to the ocean when it will catch the ferry.

Autobarn probably forgot to order it..... :whistler:

Quite possible, but they would never admit it.... My experience of autobarn has been mixed.. (seems to vary a bit depending on the Owner/Manager) ..haven't had much luck with the Devonport one but the Launceston one is very helpful...(although I try to use Supercheap now as that is where the son-in-law works)
