Not without modding, the coupe is a 7mm thread, that only goes up to 6 and the adaptor is too short...

:yeahthat

I cut mine down on my old one, used a couple of layers of heatshrink tube then a rubber cap on top, and voila, shorter aerial.

Although I did cut mine a little tooo short :S

Wouldnt saw it in half lol, as you'll lose radio reception, as I found out. Best to do it so it finishes just above the roof line, which is what im going to do this time.

I've just chopped my dodgem aerial down to about 5 inches and it's not too bad reception wise. I simply unscrewed it, chopped it and added the top off of a pound shop beesting aerial! A touch of sikaflex inside the cap to stick it firmly into place and hey presto! Looks the business and the reception only gets affected in the usual dodgy areas. Besides, I usually have the cd's or ipod playing so it's nothing much lost really :p
