Aerial bung?

Post by Merlin » Thu Feb 20, 2025 10:23 am

I want to remove the aerial on my 4th gen. Does anyone know of a suitable bung that would fill the hole? Is there another Honda with an ariel in the same position?

I have seen some Civic EK aerial bungs, but the EK/EG has its ariel on their roof.

The MX5 looks like it might fit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275871721310 but I would like a flush fitting one.

:think: MX5 delete is just ugly
you could just measure the hole and get a rubber blanking plug to fit
plenty of low cost options

Yeah, I don't want that exact MX5 bung, but it looks the correct shape. The issue is that the 4th gen aerial is on the curve of the 3/4 panel, so a flat bung will not fit properly. I am looking for a car that has a similar curve to its 3/4.

From memory, the 4G aerial hole is elliptical?

The hole is is elliptical, round when looked at in plan view.
