    Trophy with Xenons on Pistonheads

    to be honest i didnt go overboard on the xenons on my 172 and havent missed em on the Trophy, mine were shite on dip and no way would i pay £300 and gain fat Lol Just my experience anyway :wink: Trophy's are going way too cheap, bloody steelers starting the trend (mine included :oops: !)
