Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
I reckon it'll look better when back on the Trophy Wheels - IMO one of the very best wheels, stylistically, for the MGF

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
One day maybe, as i too love Trophy wheels. But I really like the Swedish wheels with anthracite. I am really pleased with them

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
The Abingdon (or cup) wheel has a huge weigth advantage, but it can not host the AP callipers.flyingbanana wrote:I think the Abingdon wheel is the best looking wheel.Rob Bell wrote:I reckon it'll look better when back on the Trophy Wheels - IMO one of the very best wheels, stylistically, for the MGF

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
I got me a set of these
I Personally think they are the best looking wheels for the MG F

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
They are also really nice - really suit the Mk2/ MY2000 MGF
But they are a smidge heavy. The Abingdon/"Cup" 6-spokers are lighter - although Erik is absolutely right, they don't fit over the AP calipers without the aid of some heroically thick spacers...

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
There was a TF at MGLive this year that had square spoke 16" and AP brakes the wheel stuck out further than the wheel arch it looked really strange!

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
I like that: adding a non-common hardtop of a 3rd party with some MGF vintage value.

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
I've not seen a KH hardtop with a spoiler before? Nice
They also had one covered with canvas (so it looked a little more like a soft top) and another with a sun roof built in. I wonder they still exist? I saw them on an MGF Register visit to their facility in around 1999... so only about 20 years ago then

I love this car. It was so worth the time, cost, effort, angst and patience.

Re: MGF Trophy rebuild
So when the bad weather came I just could not take Black out in the salty roads after all the hard work. So bought another Trophy and got it undersealed by Krown and now enjoying winter fun! Just putting my 'stick of rock' through it and slowly improving different bits
