Hi, Had similar fun and games fitting a cheap sharkfin on a 2013 Cooper.Original mounting was mush wider than the fin though. Ended up trimming the original base to fit inside the fin using an angle grinder and soldering on the aerial. I should have filed down the screw mounts to allow a recess for the adhesive pad to sit inside and hide it when installed.

Yah the first time you DIY something its a learning experience for sure.

Haha, Two weeks ago i went thru a car wash and my hood scoop flew off -_-.... Today I went to car wass again and my antenna broke off and landed on my sun roof, I opened the sun roof very quick and got it before the brushes came back, got all wet but saved my antenna! Thanks a lot bro, good video. Going to do this too...Probably wont go to a drive thru car was again....feel like my hood is gonna fly off next time.

I think touchless washes are fine for a quick clean look, just that stupid piece of metal that comes down to have you drive slow through the air drying portion is very dangerous, so should remove your antenna every time.

I admire your 'have a go' mentality, when it comes to the DIY jobs you undertake, on your Mini. Fair play to you! :-)
