Looks just like a very cheap looking screw cover to me. Not really looked at it that closely really. Do you guys have something different in that position?

Of course, that's why you have the aerial NSR - it's for the phone!
All the other aerials are incorporated into the rear screen IIRC.

Hi all

I'm gonna be taking the car off the market for a couple of months. I need to lend my little fiesta out to a family member so she will have to become my daily driver for a while.

Bit late with my response, when you do relist it I would suggest you concentrate on the positive aspect of ownership, all the stuff about availability of parts etc is not going to help you sell. I recently sold mine and got what I think was a fair price, and though my reasons for selling were similar to yours I thought it best to avoid pointing out the negative aspects of ownership in the ad. Hope you are not offended by these comments, just sharing my thoughts and recent selling experience
