Well my Dad has asked me what I want for chrimbo, naturally it has to be something MG related so I'm wondering about changing the splitter to a Trophy one.

What do you guys n gals think?

Quick reminder of the two:

KH -



Trophy:

BOTH!.
I have a copy of the K H and it works at anything over 80kmph, on track days the car feels stable at 190+. I prefer the look of the Trophy and you can also fit the K H under some people say it's twice as good!

I'm sure it was mgf_matt who had both and when I followed him round a multi storey car park you could hear Matt's pain when he scraped the bottom on every level! :ouch:

It's gotta be one or the other... I agree the KH splitter dramatically improves handling so I wonder if the Trophy one does the same. :CJJ:

I prefer the K & H personally, but that's just me!

I have had both versions, the car came with the Trophy splitter, but after I err... broke it, I fitted the K+H instead. Mainly because it looked easier to fit.
From my point of view:-
I think the Trophy looks more part of the car, but the K+H makes more of a statement.
The K+H is definitely easier to fit, and does not necessarily have to be colour matched to the car bumper.
In use, I would say that the K+H is probably more effective, but not by much.

Got to be the Trophy - it is what the front of the MGF has been crying out for.

Thanks David - agreed the KH splitter was very easy to fit as Frank just jabbed a soldering iron through the bumper - he was lucky that it made the perfect size hole!

Trophy does look more like it belongs and I'd be quite tempted to filler it so you couldn't see the join at all.

Even though I have the K+H, I do prefer the look of the Trophy. I wasn't keen on mine at first, but it grew on me :)

I've had both types as well, I think they're both excellent and do exactly what they need to. I started with a KrafHaus splitter until I could afford for a properly painted trophy one to be fitted.

My trophy one was blended in to the bumper before spraying as I'm not so fond of the gap that shows up when they are just screwed / rivetted and stuck on.
