I think the standard engine looks much better than one with one of those ugly chargers dumped on top; they're hardly beautiful designed!

In fact the biggest downside for me with supercharged cars was thay they are the engine bay a lot worse looking. So for me, this is a much nicer option.
The tts kit looks fantastic under the bonnet

Can’t help thinking that whilst this is a brilliant detailed install, it’s a right ball-ache compared to a TTS or similar.

(And I’m with Danny, the TTS looks great installed)

+1 Obviously slightly biased here but it's IMHO I think the quality finish on a TTS charger actually enhances the underbonnet appearance.

I'm not convinced, in that photo it just looks like a cheap plastic cover most modern engines come with now (I know it's neither cheap nor plastic).

there is no denying the r/h/d uk JHM kit is more work than the l/h/d usa kit, but i wouldnt say its that much more work than a TTS kit or similar.
with the JHM kit yes you have the extra work with the air con dryer/filter relocation, but the TTS kit and the like you have to remove the intake manifold change the fuel lines ect.
i have never seen a home install of a TTS kit or been privy to the installation instructions but i have read through the APR kits instructions and there is more to them than just swapping the inlet manifold over.

JHM can fit a us spec kit in a day, MRC quote 18 hours for the TTS install.....

this looks like some type of R&D prototype, not finished off enough. not a fan, stock looks loads better.
