Just some ideas...

Hello! Don't know if you guys thought about this but, I've had these 2 ideas for ages and would like to share..
The antenna on our cars is the extendable one. I was thinking if we can incorporate something like the R171 SLK ones or perhaps other shorter ones onto our cars? The long antenna is bugging me because it always scrapes when I park at home (underground parking).
Secondly, I was thinking if we can perhaps fit the W210 or W202 mirrors to our cars? This would kind of modernise the car a bit (well in actual fact I'm just itching for something to do with my car)..

Anyone got answers to these ideas?

Cheers,
Jeff

i would totally go for a smaller antenna. my antenna is broken anyway so might as well replace it, and i don't want to have to deal with the mechanics..

lots of cars
You should patch it with metal but if you don't have a welder or it's too expensive use fiberglass under it and then put glass reinforced resin on top and then bondo to smooth it out.
