Nice commercial.

It came with a horn and a key fob. Still have mine. There is no MINI part number as it was marketing material.



Nice find Bram.



For aftermarket universal horns we do have these:

I like my opposite alternative. "Train horns" get attention and let people know they are about to mess up. I got mine from a company called HornBlasters.com. 150 psi air in a 4gal tank gives me about 7-9 sec of blast. If you were at MOTD this year you might have heard them

Haven't seen this thread for a while!!

I've still got mine... somewhere! I would have to re-solder the 9v battery leads, or just hard wire the horn permanently. I don't even know where I could mount it in my 2012! :p

Yes and no. I have some pics and no video. I am still compiling enough pictures to accurately show what I have done. The only issue is that I have 4 trumpets tuck inside the back bumper, around my hitch. Visibility is not really great to see what is going on under there. I need to get it on a rack to properly show everything. I promise one day I will do a half-@ss build thread. Let me see if I can dig up a few teaser pics.

So I guess you dont want one of these?
Mini Multifunctional Console | £8,000.00 this is one entertainment throne that all couch-potatoes *** part time car freak will love. conceived by David Gawthorpe, this entertainment cocoon is crafted out from an actual classic Mini Cooper. it took David two years to complete this piece of multi-functional console, in which gaming is just part of its many other functions. the working hood flips up to unveil a plush seating complete with backrest and from this seat, you can blast your favorite tunes, watch a movie, execute your overflowed work from office here or simply dump the work and play games on it.
the features don’t just stop there. built into this beautiful example is a ‘Butt Kicker’ vibration pad that ensures you jump on every shot of an action film. it even has a fridge at the back, so you can snag a cold drink without walking too far while you are on your couch-potato duty. this Mini also possess a 500-watts amplifier, strobe and laser lights, iPod dock, stereo sound and a remote-controlled smoke machine – perfect for recreating the tire-burning sensation of a drag race. this one-of-the-kind entertainment seat is reported to cost a cool £8,000 (about US$12,915).
we have no idea where in the world you can lay your hands on this awesome chair but in case all avenue of exploit to buy this fails, may we suggest you built one yourself. all you need is lots of dough and two years to spare. on the side note, i used to have a mini cooper sofa that i savaged off a classic mini that was destined for the scrapyard but sadly, that didn’t turn out too well due to the fact that i was lacking the experience and tools necessary to make it a more presentable piece.
