splitter

Hi All.thinking about fitting splitter. Would like views/feedback about fitting frount splitter to my2000 F
Other question. anyboby got onr for sale?

Splitters are recommended for the F. They significantly improve high speed handling. :broon:

Make sure you fit them with plenty of screws that way it stays on lol, a few have been known to fly off in the past, I have one and its very good at the upper end of the cars speed it really does help keep the front end lift down

Thinking of fitting one myself so let me know how you get on

I've been rebuilding one that came off a trophy at the local scrappy, wear and cracks suggested it had been parked over the kerb a few times.

Hope to fit it next week so will let you know.

I would be very intrested as i have got the dreaded speedhumps,dowm a road i have to go down every day.good luck in the rebuild.

My Mrs has a splitter on her F and it clears all the speed bumps around our area

I will be fitting mine soon, was busy sorting her car out this weekend

As Jac says, DO NOT USE SELF TAPPERS!!! AS i did and found out they aint good enough!!! Plenty of bolts!!! And it does seem to make a difference in handling. I bought mine off Ebay about £75 IIRC??ASK FOR BOLTS NOT SELF TAPPERS THO!!!! Cant say I havent warned you
I will say they are bloody well made, my F got severely smashed up a few weeks ago the whole front end was smashed in, the one thing that survived relatively intact was the splitter! Bear in mind it went down an embankment and into a ditch and ended up in bushes!! :slapme:

youve got a few options.

main ones though are the KH at the top and the Trophy nearer the bottom...

Definitely use bolts though
and yes, i agree it does help keep the front end down

Good to know they clear speed bumps.Thats my mind put at rest.Many thanks for all the advice for the fitting,will keep all updated

I have K&Hs fitted to both of my MGFs. One is lowered and even that splitter clears speed humps. I have grounded it out on steep driveway entries though. Fortunately the splitter and bumper both have a certain amount of flex, so no damage.
My first F doesn't have power steering, the newer one does. When I started driving the newer car I found the steering very light and "drifty". The splitter makes a big difference, even at moderate speeds. It feels a lot more steady and the floating sensation is very much decreased.
The splitter gets a big thumbs up from me. :broon: :drive: :yesnod:

After all the advice from you all,I ordered one from B&G recived friday, fitted today.WOW what a difference these make so thank you to all.another question.How do i post photos on here? Dont forget Im a dummy with computors
