Ozzy I look forward to your pictures :yesnod:

I am still going to try this as I like the look :broon:

both parts available here: http://www.m-99.co.uk/Car_Bodykits/MGF/mgf.html

Do you not have speed bumps nearby?

I have bought the the front spoiler and boot one with the group buy on here, both Trophy, but without the fog lights in the front one ..

My splitter..





Yes YP I do have Speed bumps, but luckily the road is being dug up by NPower, and the ones put in by our local numpty will be ripped out, and Madam will be able to look like a sports car again, rather than an MGF on stilts :woohoo:

I would like that look (ref F by the hedge) if the splitter matched the lines of the bumper....but to me the bumper is lovely and rounded, whilst the splitter is very angular...now if the splitter were rounded off???? or would that defeat the purpose

Aerodynamics aside I really like the look of the double splitter in the low position. :broon:

That sounds like a really good idea :yesnod:

Rich I think it looks "Mean" I am going to give it a go anyway ..

As Maggie said how easy would it be to round one off


Thinking about it you could sit the unfitted trophy one on it and draw round giving you a perfect template then cut round, but..


What would you trim it off with ?

How would you smooth it off ?

Would it weaken the splitter ?

To confess,
I was thinking of fitting one to the Trophy, but..... speed bumps are few just here
but many of the roads are two ruts with grass between, hmmmm.

that is going to be something I will have to learn to remember regardless of the spoiler !!
the lower height of the front :pinch:

TB pointed out that smoothing the curve would mean losing strength at each end, extra flexing at the end fixing ..
Which was my concern ..
Also maybe the reason they are fitted forward, is that even if the central fixing point if cut down the Trophy under lip does not go back far enough to enable fitting

So TB says
If i wanted to eliminate the curve in and notch, i would self tap screw some Mesh across the gap and Fibre glass and fill. that way you can increase the strength..

That to me seems to be the answer :yesnod:

to be honest i was thinking of just making my own splitter...

mgf Trophy front bumper and then plywood splitter...

if its good enough for the Elise GT1 and Lotus 2-11 GT4 (both from factory with plywood splitters!) then its good enough for the MG...

made one for a friends exige that was about 60mm longer all round than the stock one, looked great...
just used marine grade plywood, and lots of sanding
