This isnt ment to sound patronising but i really dont know how you younger people manage to insure your minis and run them at the price of your insurance.I have just got a quote for my highly modified mini its a vauxhall 16v engine rollcage,removable front ect and it was £179 and i thought that was dear.
i dont mean this in an answering back way, but it takes a lot of hard work to keep them on the road! i worked my backside off through the summer to buy my mini, worked on the farm and earned 2k, this put me through my lessons and test, then brought me the car. I then got a job working weekends in a garden centre while i was still at school to pay for insurance, then any money from birthdays or tips or odd jobs i did went towards mods such as the seats, speakers, carpets, dash, arches, fogs, spots, grill, exhaust, air filters, rocker cover etc etc! and im so glad my parents didnt pay for it all, because i now know how much things cost, and when i go into the big wide world i wont get a shock and get myself into debts!
i think you will struggle to get insurance under £2000 if your on your own policy, espec with the air filter, exhaust and manifold, wheels, neons and stereo system!
its personally not my cup of tea, i like things sporty looking but unless your careful in the next few jobs you do, this could verge on being chavvy if im being brutely honest! i think your right though, it does have potential i just hope you can release it!

And every year i just call round all the insurance companies to get the best quotes, im not 21 so insurance isnt to bad atall, but i remeber spending atleast a week on the phone trying to sort insurance for my first mini.
Regarding the air horn, the best bet is to ask your MOT man.

those dashs normally have brackets on the back, check inside the glove box, loosen that one and work your way along.
cheers, will do when it's light haha
