    Have you any experience of fitting an alarm to a Copen?
    Ideally, one that operates the central locking and boot.

    Thanks,
    Rex.

    I've just bought a Clifford alarm that operate the CL and has a boot popper. I've previously fitted a Cobra Alarm to a Fiat that had CL but wasn't automatic. That alarm worked great and converted the manual CL to auto which was the main reason I fitted it
    Fitting this Clifford to the Copen I've stumbled at the first hurdle. I can't find anywhere suitable to mount the siren, the 1.3 doesn't have a lot of surplus space under the bonnet.
    I was going to mount the siren on the horn bracket which would be a good place for being able to hear it through the grill. But then I realised that it would be very susceptible to water ingress so decided against that. I'll have another look tomorrow.:)
    If any body has fitted an alarm to a Copen any hints or tips would be most welcome.
