2007 XK electric Ariel alternatives
Sorry if this has been discussed before - I've run a quick search and came up with so many hits, my head span!
I'm looking to swap out the electric Ariel on my XK (2007) and wondered if anyone had a good standard alternative.
It would be great to update the look of the car with something a little newer, that isn't a complete hemorrhoid to fit!
Anyone else looked into this?
Thanks
Munky

You're right, there is a lot of material on this topic. You could remove the antenna and then mount a 'stubby' antenna on top of the existing antenna housing. Or, you could just remove the fuse to disable the extending of the antenna, no more whip flying atop your rear fender. I still get 95% great fm reception but very little am reception.

The best alternative is the Mina Gallery exhaust system for the normally-aspirated 4.2L XK together with an X-pipe and 200-cell catalytic converters. You'll improve the looks with the quad tailpipes, and you'll want to remove that old-fashioned electric antenna and fill in the hole because the sound of that exhaust will be such music to your ears as to make you never want to turn on your radio again!
