I think that a Mini SE corresponds to a F56? Cant seem to find a stubby for the f56 but only the f55. Will the f55 one fit? Looking at the Cravenspeed site.
Stubby antenna?

I can't answer your question, but personally I like the stock whip antenna on the SE (and other MINIs). Makes it look more like a little R/C car.

True but I was thinking of getting a stubby and painting it yellow to match the mirror caps which I am also painting yellow.

I found the OEM 65202296772 online for $29. The compatibility tools are out of date and only go through 2021 for the SE but it works fine. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-mini-parts/sport-rod-antenna-stubby-83mm/65202296772/
Your might try painting a cheap non-OEM example to see if it works with paint.

I use striping tape on my long antenna to see how will looks in yellow. I don’t like that contrast on black roof with yellow.I’m taking that tape of don’t belongs there.Yellow with English Green works much better as mirrors and my stripes on hood.
Here's the one I bought from MINI for my SE: MINI Sport Shorty Antenna Part# 65202296722. The website says it fits 2023 Hardtop MINIs.

MINI Sport antenna will fit because I use it that exact part on my 2022 SE.
More importantly, the Center of Automotive Research says AM radio on EVs could cost up a cumulative $3.8 billion to automakers from now to 2030. #saveAMradio
I'm so happy Bimmercode could unlock the hidden AM radio and antenna connection hidden in my MINI Cooper SE! What are the chances the J01 will have an AM radio, hidden or not? I can't believe they'd include it and then hide it again.

Thanks. After seeing this, I think so too
Well, we don't listen to the radio ever so it's only about the aesthetics.
Well, when I look at the rules, I find different sets of rules. So, which is 'authentic'? And what is rule 4?

So rule 4 is now rule 7?

Anywhere that I can get a poster of the 'rules'?
MINI published this poster last year, but I couldn't find one on ebay or a better, higher-res photo of it online. It shows the original Rule #4.
My motto for my SE is "Bounds about roundabouts, quietly acting out."
