Hilarious.  They fit an external antenna, find it worsens signal quality and then declare the project a success because "it looks like its meant to be there".  Idiots.

thats ridiculous! Yeah ok, lets spend loads of money, waste loads of time and effort, invalidate our warrenty and make the whole machine less sturdy and resilient and then claim its a positive outcome. Why cant people just go - "well that didnt work"? At least theyd get credit then for trying....

they said it might be better with a higher rated antena, 11db and above but yeah, just re read the summary and what twaddle.

its like chavs saying those humongous body kits are a positive addition and that spoilers look "like its meant to be there"  :lol:  :roll:

Sounds to me like theyve got very little knowledge of antenna theory and just slapped any old one on.

Dont forget the massively oversized exhaust outlet and the fact they have all been fixed on using a ton of filler which has since cracked.

Yes, I actually saw one like that!  :o
