Evo 8 vortex generator and antenna

[pcalahane]

So I was out looking at my car today and decided it might look cool with an Evo style vortex generator just at the end of the roof line. However, I felt that it would get flamed so I put it out of my thoughts.

Then I was looking at pictures of 318ti's on Stanceworks and found a Dakar 318ti with a relocated antenna centered in the rear of the roofline. The car was beautiful and all OEM BMW as far as I could tell beside the retrofit.

So here is the question... How hard would relocating the antenna be? just buy a MK4 VW antenna and mount it and wire it or would there be complications to it? Also since I am already working there, could I just install an Evo 8 vortex generator AND antenna together? would it fit? would it be ridiculous? Anyone want to photoshop one on a 318ti? If the roofs are similar lengths it should be able to be epoxied in place and made to fit the roof's curves IMO.

Its just an idea, I plan on relocating the antenna but the vortex generator is just a fantasy. I wont be offended so speak up if you like. Also a picture is worth a 1000 words so lets see what it could end up looking like.

Bump. Anyone know what im talking about? Here is a picture of the dakar 316i I was referring too.

That's fine but what are you going to use for down force? You would need some type of spoiler. Then at what speeds would it be useful? How much down force will it apply is also questioned.

I have another thread waiting for people who want to join in on a group buy from Harry Hockly so I can get their wing. Proper height, great looks, and very inexpensive. I figure with that wing and a vortex generator, I would get the most bang for my buck. The wing is $160USD and I've found the generators for an evo 8 for $45USD. How fast I would need to go for it to help... Idk, but I figure for $45 it couldn't hurt to try. It's waiting on if it will look rediculous or fit on the tiny bit of metal behind my California top or not is the question. I would love to see it Pshop'd to get an idea.
