Take off the plastic cover above the front grill. A few plastic fasteners is all that is needed to remove it. Very easy. You can then see very well.
Sorry, you mean a plastic cover that is on the front of the car or - open the hood and remove one from within the hood?Leafboy said:Take off the plastic cover above the front grill. A few plastic fasteners is all that is needed to remove it. Very easy. You can then see very well.

Yes, as others have stated, the one under the hood.sp4rk said:Sorry, you mean a plastic cover that is on the front of the car or - open the hood and remove one from within the hood?Leafboy said:Take off the plastic cover above the front grill.

sp4rk said:So I went back ...Leafboy said:They probably kept it! Go back and raise hell.
Ask what had happened ... they asked the mechanic ... who apparently claimed that he HAD installed both of them; one where you can see it, the other, way over to the "right".
Service and I looked for it. Where?
Then I pressed the horn button a couple of times and asked the service rep if he thought he heard one horn or two ... "erm, one."
So I am bringing the car back in Tuesday (they were v busy given it's a Saturday and this is NOT important ) ... to have them "find" the "lost" horn.
Back at home, with a flashlight, I looked at the one I can see and it looks like no extension wire going anywhere but I am really not sure I know what I am looking for.
Nor am I stupid!

Ok, this ended well. Mis-communication ... I brought them the FIAMM. They thought I wanted the stock HORN replaced with one of the FIAMM's and the alarm confirmation horn with the other FIAMM.
So, they did a great job of putting it back the way it was supposed to be ... and now it works as it's supposed to.
Wooof!
Thanks to all for the advice.

Not all that impressed.
