chances are you can mount it in the same place as the factory horn, which is under the car, below where the battery sits. Chances are also pretty good that all you will need to do, possible change the connectos on the wires to match what the new horn needs and you'll be off and running. The horn should have come with some basic instructions to explain the wiring, but then again, it might not have, or they make it overly complicated.
It's a nromal electric hor right, not the air-horn?

There are two wire horns and single wire horns. What have you got on the car now? What does the replacement Hella have? With this information we can give you step by step instructions on how to do it.

Can't tell from the link the number of wires on the horns. If it's a complete Hella kit with instructions then you shouldn't have any questions. Let us know if you do.
Do not skip the relay. The relay will allow greater voltage to go to the horns and protect the integrity of the wires.
Do you have a Bentley manual yet? Even a Clymer or Haynes will give you an idea of the wiring layout from the column.

let us know how those turn out...
I have the hella two-tone air horns in my jetta and they arn't terribly convincing.
Now that I think about it... I'm feeding the compressor with the std horn circuit - maybe if I used a relay setup it would blow harder. (thinking about it more... the std circuit in an a2 has a relay setup... I think. )
