Default 'Stubby' antenna for WS Fiesta?

Does anyone know where or if you can get a 'stubby' antenna for the WS?
Preferably one that just screws into the existing mount...

Can always just cut the current one down, but first you should melt the top knob thing off in hot water then re apply it after cutting.

Yeah I thought about that, was going to buy a second one & cut it down so I still had the original, but Ford charge $48 just for the mast

I know my Stubby Antenna is for my MKI Focus but you could look at Team Torquesteer in the U.K. That's where I purchased mine from.

This is the one I bought for my wife's Tiguan and it fits Fiesta WT too. I believe there is no difference in the antenna base between WT and WS.

Would we be able to do the shark's fin antenna that BMWs have?

I was getting good reception with no antenna, so it's just about the same, I hardly listen to the radio so it was more of an aesthetic thing for me...
