Default Aerial removed
Finally got around to removing the aerial completely and then got a body shop to cover the hole, the results of which are below.

After

I'm pleased with the result and as it should have been all along.

Did you relocate it or just rid yourself of it?

It cost £200 to have the hole filled and rear quarter done.

This is how they filled it.

Looks a nice job Ian, may be worth some sort of preservative on the underside just in case but a job well done either way.

I see the patch but don't see how it was blended into the body. It looks like aluminum so do I assume it was welded in place?

It was bonded into place, no welds here!

I had it done in Hampshire so a bit out the way from Nottingham.
