Stubby Aerial Kit, MX5 Mk2/2.5

SKU: AERIAL2

We are pleased to now offer a kit to convert your Mk2/2.5 aerial to the short "stubby" version as fitted to the Mk3. The kit consists of the aerial, and a adaptor required to fit it. Easy to fit, just unscrew the old aerial mast, screw in the adaptor, and then the new aerial mast!

Fits all Mk2 & 2.5 models, 1998>2005 with manual aerial only.

Please note, this will NOT fit vehicles with electric aerials.

I replaced the electrical aerial with a manual base and this. Much better!My audio receiver always extended the electric aerial at power on, which bothered me. No need for that now! I only rarely listens to radio these days, and prefer internet streaming.

Fitted this aerial in a few minutes and looks so much better than the old long metal one. Definitely recommended

Really easy to fit to my mk 2.5, took less than 45 minutes from start to finish. I'm really pleaseed with the overall effect, I think it looks really smart with the mk3 stubby. I would rate this higher but for the fact that the manual aerial base doubled the cost of the project. Even worse than that though is the ludicrous and unjustifiable cost of the aerial adapter - nearly £12 for a small lump of hard plastic and a small steel adapter is inexcusable.

Great product, not cheap but receives perfect radio reception and finishes of the back of the MX5 much more nicely than the standard whip aerial, which is now used exclusively for cleaning out the hood drainage holes.Easy to install on the mk2, just screws straight on, no modification needed.

The electric aerial stopped working on my 11 year old Mk2, (the ONLY thing that has actually ever gone wrong with the car..)The masts are replaceable but it was the motor that had gone, they are not cheap!I scooted around on ebay to find a used one but even they are silly money, I never did like the huge chrome 1970's electric aerial anyway so settled on this part as a replacement.I had to go to a local MX5 breaker (who I'm probably not allowed to mention) to buy a non-electric 'base' for £10. This easily bolts inside thecar with one 10mm nut (earth) and the mounting at the top which needed gentle persuasion with some circlip pliers (watch that paint!)Once the new base was installed it was a matter of minutes before this aerial was screwed in and working. Reception is better than beforeand it looks a lot better than the huge chrome aerial. I would have liked the design to be slimmer, such as the latest MK3 aerials and the Honda S2000, but this is being picky.Something nobody has mentioned in these reviews is that top down at 70-80mph this aerial is MUCH quieter (at generating wind noise) than the standard aerial, in fact it cannot be heard.Excellent product, easy to fit and works perfectly, excellent delivery too (as always). 5 Stars.

Very pleased with aerial and if you have a 10 year old MX5 like me it make it look a lot younger. The difficult part was getting the old metal one off which took loads of WD40 and a Mole grip

Bought after getting fed up of the whiplash style ariel catching me out. Took about 3 minutes to remove old, bin and replace with this one. Looks a lot better and gets a better reception. A must for anyone with a mk2 wanting to make it look a bit smarter.

Delivery Information - MX5 Parts

We understand that its really important for you to receive your goods in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. To ensure that we can deliver this we have developed a strategic partnership with both the Royal Mail and our courier partner, Think Worldwide.

At the present time, we only offer one delivery option ‘our carrier’. We will dispatch your goods with the most suitable carrier, for main land UK deliveries this is normally Royal Mail 1st class for packages weighing under 1.5kg and Think Worldwide for those that are over.

Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the consignment and the destination address. For UK mainland deliveries they start at £1.97 for a package weighing under 300g and rise to a MAXIMUM of £9.95 for a package weighing 1.5kg or over (EXCEPT very large bulky items that have an additional shipping surcharge added). The exact delivery cost will be clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery times are estimated at 1-3 working days by Royal Mail, and 1-2 working days by Think Worldwide for mainland UK addresses. If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, we will dispatch the same day. If you order after 3pm, we will try to dispatch the same day, but if we cant it will be the next working day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be dispatched Monday. Items dispatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be dispatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t dispatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised dispatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note, shipping times are an estimate, and can not be guaranteed. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

A signature is required for ALL orders delivered by Think Worldwide. Someone must be at your delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 6pm on a working day. Please send it somewhere it can be reliably signed for, like your place of work, a neighbour, or perhaps your grans. We can (but we don’t like to) ask the courier to leave your parcel without a signature. If we do this, it will be YOUR responsibility if the parcel is lost or damaged. If you want it left, you need to give us your express instructions in the ‘additional information’ box at the end of the checkout process. It would be helpful if you could also indicate exactly where the package should be left.

If you need to change your delivery address, for any packages that have been dispatched with Think Worldwide, there will be an additional charge of £9.95 if the package has already been dispatched.

Please remember, even with Royal Mail deliveries, that any items which are too large to fit through your letter box will need someone to be available to receive the delivery. If the item cannot be delivered, you will be carded and given the option of either a re-delivery or you can collect your parcel from your local post office depot.

Orders sent to countries outside the UK will be sent VAT free, however please note that on all international shipments, the recipient is responsible for any local VAT, import duty and other clearance fees that may be charged.

Our Guarantee - MX5 Parts

We guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts!

We are an independant, family company, run by a dedicated team. We aim to be the kind of company that we’d like to deal with if we were you. You have our absolute commitment as fellow MX-5 owners, car nuts, internet users and hard-working people that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts. If you’re not, let us know and we’ll sort it out!

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day . If you order after 3pm, we’ll still try to despatch that day but, if we can’t, we’ll despatch the following day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be despatched Monday. Items despatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be despatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t despatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised despatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

We guarantee to replace any goods which aren’t suitable

We guarantee to accept back any goods that you do not want, are not suitable, have changed your mind about, infact, for ANY reason, provided the goods reach us within 30 days of dispatch from us, in their original condition and packaging. Please tell us why you are returning the items, just for our records. The original purchase price of the goods will be refunded on to the card that was used for their purchase. Sorry, but we can not refund the carriage costs.

We guarantee to sort out any problem with your order

Just contact us if you have any problems with an order from mx5parts. We’ll tell you exactly what steps we’re going to take to rectify the problem.

We guarantee full warranty support on all items

Just contact us if you have a warranty problem. All goods supplied by mx5parts are from official sources and are covered by the normal manufacturers warranty.

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.

We guarantee that shopping with us is safe
