Almost.....
Got a call from my MA - it appears that the service grunts had attached the front license plate frame on the center of the bumper- even though there were instructions not to do it because I planned to use the tow hook spot to mount the front plate...
So now there are two holes in my new bumper....
I emailed him back and said that they needed to make it right -since they screwed up... I suggested the find another Midnight Black and swap the bumper skin...
Got a email back that they were half done with the swap
So it should be perfect

WAHHHHHH..... THE FINAL DAYS ARE THE WORST DAYS OF THE WAIT....
My adviser said that it wasn't here yet then I sent him a screen shot from W&W and he said he doesn't know what that means. SMH
After that I still have to wait for them to install the JCW kit but whatever.. haha.. Maybe I can camp out at Mini of Monrovia and just wait for the truck to arrive?

Don't worry. Relax, eat some popcorn (not your fingernails). But if you do eat your fingernails to their quicks, they will have a long time to recover because once you start driving your new MINI you will never want to stop driving

In the mean time, you can go back a couple pages and check out the pics I posted when Figaro passed by the Panama Canal.
You running out of popcorn yet?

After talking to my friend yesterday, he's got me thinking about not having the front license plate hole drilled. I certainly like the look without the plate, but I also do not want the hassle of sticking the front plate on when I park on the street and remember to remove them when I get back in the car.
Should I ask my dealer to not drill them or no?

Looks like me and you are the only 2 on Figaro. It is kind of weird that W&W says Liner Release and Customs Release. According to schedule, Figaro should dock at Port H on 7/28. So 2 more days!! I am just as anxious as you are.

Thanks for the welcome. It's been fun so far and nice to hear others are as anxious as I am! I finally figured out a name! My baby will be called Brixton or Sir Brixton as I like to call him.
You are right! It's been 2 days and I've already called ASK MINI several times so it is official...I am a MINI stalker!

hmm...I remember I saw someone here who demanded their dealer to swap out a existing bumper without the holes when they forgot the request about not drilling the plate.

Mine is arriving at the dock tomorrow 7/28 and possibly at the dealer next week. So hopefully if I call them this next couple days, it will be fresh in their mind and they will remember.

That's true...but I just didn't want to go down that road, so I asked for $$ off, and I got it. That was my fix!

I drove my last car without a front plate for 12 years and never had an issue. There are plenty of options when it comes to holders that utilize the tow hook receiver and many of them can be installed/removed in seconds if you have to put it on. Call your MA now and tell him you don't want it and then call again when you know it's on it's way to the dealership.
