do you have the link to the UK Mitsu dealer you ordered it from? I was looking at the dealership/parts website in or around London and I found the OEM UK VG, but in the ordering fields, there is no way to specify which antenna base you have, and the photo shows the smaller antenna base (I have the SSS/non-navi antenna base).
There is only 1 type made for the FQ-360 models. Make sure it fits your specific antenna before you purchase it.
Im positive
I cant wait for it to arrive, this thing is going to fit snug as a bug. If you look closely, it even has the rubber lining that comes on the factory aero kit!

Im not sure, since I dont have the VG in hand nor do I have Navi. But another member (orange beetle) had to trim a little in order to make it fit his antenna (i think he has an 08 navi). Nothing a dremel cant fix.
Here's the thing. The Rexpeed version is a Chargespeed replica. Too aggressive IMO plus it doesnt sit flush on the drivers side. The APR is almost perfect, but the new version was made with a huge space to allow all model antennas to fit. So it leaves you with more space than needed. With the FQ model, it fits like a glove since its a JDM factory part. All you need to do (if you even need to do it) is trim a little on the sides where the antenna fits in.

the UK VG only has 1 version and that is with the regular base antenna since japan nor the UK have sirius satellite, hence they can not and will not or should not sell you with one that is suited for a US car. if they ask you if you need the one with sirius or base then its not the real UK VG.
if you buy the FQ VG only 2 things.
1. change your base antenna to the regular one and you lose your satellite but at least you dont need to trim
2. trim the UK VG around the sirius satellite base.

This is a pic of the APR VG. Anyone know where to get this carbon piece that covers the antenna? I think this looks much better than without it!

That was the first version of the APR VG which had fitment issues with the piece that covered the antenna. It also made some people experience poor reception with Sirius.
