So the horns are behind the grill and look odd >.< Where can I move them too easily?

Cheers!

Behind a headlight. Still loud enough there and they get wet if you put them lower down.

Behind where the foglights are behind the front valance - stick in a Stebel Nautilus or two and everyone will hear you coming!

See this old thread....http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22308&highlight=stebel

pull the cabling out a bit and there are two unsed bolt holes on the right side of the bulk head just under the battery.
Have them pointing slightly towards the rear and there will be no issue with water. Mine have worked fine for 4 years.

Cheers for the replies guys, appreciate it.

No, not at all. Just jack up the front and use axle stands. Ten minutes job to bolt them in - a bit longer to do the wiring. For myself, being loud and stupid, I did not remove the loom, but used some 3M wire joining blocks (the sort where you run the wire thru, and the new connection, then crimp down the metal blade and clip it shut. I also use a relay for maximum blast effect!

When did you do this Phil? I hope you greased the hell out of those scotch blocks they rust in no time. If they do pack in change them out for some heat shrink crimps.
