You're probably both talking about the same thing - on a facelift you only get a GSM antenna about 18" long on the nearside rear wing, don't you? Radio antenna is built in elsewhere

Yep. Rear left wing. About 18" with wire wrapped around it. 3" plastic couple thing at the bottom. GPS aerial is on the centre of the boot... Not sure how it comes off either.

GPS aerial has a single bolt; nut easily accessed once you take the boot lid liner off (lots of bolts and screws, but easy).
