I'm confused, thought 20s in the 666s were standard with the ZCP?

Placed an order (11/25) for a MG with SO interior, 6spd with Competition package.

From what I can tell, the car should be here sometime between late Jan and early Feb.

Beyond excited about this car and the process.

So far this is what I've got in mind for the build:

Paint pep and Xpel
HRE FF04 (included a pic of wheel)
Michelin P4S 265/30/20 Fr, 295/30/20 R
BMW Performance Adjustable Coil overs
M Performance Exhaust
DINAN Stage II

Hope to post some pics once the car arrives.

Just had a full new car detail done -
- suntek ultra PPF on the whole front of the car, entire hood, and headlights.
- CQuartz pro PPC on entire car
- suntek CXP 35% tint on all windows, and 80% on the windshield

It's been less than 2 weeks, but overall I couldn't be happier so far... the shop I used did a fantastic job on the install, no edges or seems to be seen anywhere on the PPF. The detail and PPC really makes the mineral grey look even deeper, especially in person. I was a little nervous about deciding to tint the windshield, but my worries were put to rest driving it home from the shop at night... I couldn't tell from the inside that it was tinted, only affect I noticed was the HUD being a little brighter (solved by turning the brightness down slightly in idrive). From the outside it goes great with the 35% tint on the rest of the car IMO... gives it some slight reflectivity getting rid of that contrast between a normal clear windshield and tinted side windows. My primary reason for tinting the windshield was to better protect the leather dash in the summer and to help keep the car a little cooler. Obviously I can't comment on that yet as it's currently below 20 degrees F where I am with hardly any UV index. I probably could have gone with 70%, but I wanted to go as conservative as possible (with the options the shop had) while still getting some protection... I'm happy with the 80%. Next on the list after winter, lower this thing and get rid of that 4x4 look in the front! Anyway, here are some pics from just after the install:

Your F80 is incredible! I love how dynamic Mineral Grey is depending on the light. What do you have planned next?

[satinm3]
