Believe it will, however, at that price, once P&P, Customs, VAT etc are added on, that landed will no doubt work out more than if you got one from Monkfish @ £425 ?

The ROE on just the OTR and shipping is £378, you'll be looking at another £75 in VAT, whatever % duty will be, plus between £8-11 Customs clearance fee by the Courier or Royal Mail.

MF looking the cheapest and quickest thumbup

That shipping charge is crazy I paid 40AUD for one shipping next available business day from aus through JHP. Purchased through jhpss.com paid for the OTR in USD and the shipping in AUD (most confusing). Probably only worked out about 10% cheaper than buying from the fish tho all in. I can dig out the name of the person I spoke to at JHP if you are interested lmk.

No mate. Think they all similar by the time you pay postage and stuff they all work out about 400-500 quid.

Just rang walkinshaw and with they's you get everything including infill panel, and panels for either side of OTR AIR INTAKE. For 540 delivered

I have the RotoFab, the enclosure is quite sealed from engine bay and intake goes all the way down to the left air duct in lower black part of bumper, might be worth a consider, was told intake temps are very good.
Was about £280 delivered from USA

Would like to get this for mine for the neatness of the in fill panel etc, but currently have the W427 and the rad has been tilted for it to fit.

The W427 looks fine with the bonnet closed smile

I like Ringram's Rotofab on his Maloo with the perspex window. smile Not so good is the fact that he has no infill panels in the engine bay, so it doesn't look finished.

I think you will struggle with IATS with that, if underhood heat from my 457 is anything to go by.

Your air filter arrangement is a bit daft laugh the filter is quite small as well so possibly restrictive?
