Well, got my 25th Anniversary model home and wanted a decent sounding horn - like I had fitted onto my 2007 to replace the little “parp”. sounding oem one.
Discovered that even with planks of wood etc it would not go up my ramp without graunching on it.
Tried to jack it up and access via the plastic undertrays BUT decided that I’m too old to be bu66ering about in such a tight space and that there were too many clips/bolts to undo.
So, short of finding an alternative way of wiring and bypassing the original horn - I’m going to have to find someone local with a proper lift to do the job for me. DIY will change into what my Mum used to call PSETDI = Pay Someone Else To Do It! Sound advice methinks
If you live near Filey then help is at hand.

Jack it up onto two concrete blocks under each front wheel.
Hand brake on and chocked should give you plenty of room, (as I did).
Or hand in your pocket for someone else to do it.
I’m just a few miles East of Beverley!
My Miyako has 2 horns.
The oem horns made a pathetic neeep sound, so I decided to replace them with a pair of windtone horns, like the one in your pic.
Most windtone horns come in a pair with one 400 hertz and the other 500 hertz. This is what the average saloon has. I wanted a sportier, brighter sound though and went for a pair of PIAA horns at 500 and 600 hertz.
I am delighted with the result.
However, fitting them through the gap between undertray and bumper was a right game, resulting in sore, bruised and scratched hands and forearms.
I think taking the bumper off is probably the better option and isl likely to be quicker in the long run.

Did you just swap them out or did you change fuse rating (naughty) and/or add a relay pls?
They have a very similar current draw to oem and the blurb says to simply replace the oem with these, so I kept the original fuse and relay. No problems so far.

Thanks all - got the car up on some old railway type sleepers - enought to get under and undo the undertray so that I could get access and replaced both horns. Time consuming and annoying in a way BUT satisfying in tother ways.
Now, I need to go out this week and find some jay-walkers to wake up

The Stebel air horn is a beauty and fits nicely once you get the undertray off for access.
I firstly didn’t bother with the relay, but after the fuse blew I ran a dedicated wire from the fusebox to the horn via a relay and it’s fine now.
Also, with the relay, the horn spins up and sounds very quickly, it’s instant, whereas the weedy current from the horn switch resulted in a slight pause before the horn sounded as it spun up
