Monterey GP Delivery Program

For those of us participating in the early delivery program of the GP in Monterey in August, what are some of the top things on your mind?

() no holes drilled in the front bumper
() do I need to bring my own set of carpet mats
() how to coordinate with a 3M clear bra installation
() when will it be released to dealer inventory so they can sell it to me

Any other questions thoughts ideas among the early delivery GP team?

If the clear bra cannot be installed then I would bring along this: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/shield.html and some masking tape.

Griot's Garage has something similar but I can't seem to access their site right now.

Don't forget, the bumper in the GP is totally different than a MCS.

PROBOBLY NOT A BAD IDEA TO BRING THE MATS WITH YOU TO MONTEREY.
THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE IN THE MONTEREY SALINAS AREA WHO INSTALL THE PROTECTION. JUST GO TO THE MFG. WEB SITE AND LOOK UP THAT AREA AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. "MY BMW" IS THE LOCAL BMW DEALER AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. SEE YOU AT LAGUNA SECA

Check out lots of GP stuff on my new(ish) GP website:

In particular, you might like to read:

Also, if you send an email to me (GBMINI@MINIsOnTop.com) I'll hook you into the Monterey GP chat between a few of us - we're in the middle of discussing "clear bra" options at the moment!

Thanks for the comments to date and this post has also "hooked me up" with an informal email discussion group of Monterey delivery GP owners (thanks GBMINI) which is helpful on several further points of preparation!
