Cheers guys! I never got a black aerial for two reasons 1. The car is silver, and I'd be looking to colour code all the silly black parts like the aerial base, wing-mirror plates, washer jets, etc. anyway. and B. It was an impulse buy and the shop didn't have black. As for the scenery, I'm just glad it was a nice sunny day, otherwise that part of Larne is probably the dreariest, depressing place in the world.
