The Lafayette Cars and Coffee is the first Saturday of every month. I won't make the 5/7 one, as I'll be co-driving a very loud and rather slow 1st gen RX7 in a 12 hour enduro.

There's also a Longmont Cars and Coffee the 2nd Saturday of every month. It's in the strip mall at the Diagonal and Hover, where Texas Roadhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Red Robin are (come for the car show, stay for the genAmeric food!). Usually it's smaller, and about 1/2 Detroit Iron, but all are welcome. Weather permitting, I'll probably make that one.

Right now, it's about 38 hours until I arrive at the performance center. Not that I'm counting or anything.

You'll get them ASAP! My build thread is burried but I'll post about my car there when it comes in So far I've got:

-M Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler
-M Performance Front Grills
-M Performance Side Gills
-3M 1080 Gloss Black Wrap
------ Roof
------ Rear Reflectors
-Will be getting 20 or 25% all around

And I'm sure there will be more to come eventually... but I'm going to hold it there for now. I think it'll be in a nice, not overdone spot.

This I can't wait to see. I'm getting the same but no roof wrap and I'm also including the rear diffuser and carbon exhaust tips and CF mirrors on my MG when it arrives....in 6 months... Living in Australia really sucks sometimes

Still, I'll have yours to drool over till then

I'm just jelly. I have some time left to wait. That looks great. You in Miami area - I'm in SWFL? I'm getting LBB too and get across the alley now and then. I'll flash my lights if I see you. Heh.

Edit: Should have finished reading- won't be getting to WY in my car probably.

Please trial fit the MPE Titanium on standard exhaust to see if they fit👍

I think this would look sweet and certainly the way i'll go if doable.

They won't fit. The tip dims are the same as the M4.

Are you installing everything yourself or are the M Performance parts already installed when you get the car?

I'm installing the grills, and gills. For the gills, you can just pop out the gloss black part and replace the chrome with it.

I'm going to get the spoiler dealer installed. Going to have a tint shop do the tints.

And I'm going to try to wrap the roof myself... wish me luck haha

Enjoy it to bits.

I'm picking mine up this Friday (Apr 29). Will be the very first M2 I ever see IRL. I refused to see any M2 and also refused to go and visit the dealer to check out mine when it arrived at the dealership earlier this month. Self-control.

All ordered M Performance parts are fitted (except for the Pro steering wheel with blue marker that will be released early Summer). I have never seen my car without these. Bonus: my dealer surprised me by fitting the CF deck spoiler too. I hadn't asked for it, as personally I like the stock Gurney flap. Just a matter of personal taste. He was prepared to remove it on the double, but told me that it looked pretty neat, harmoniously blending with the MG body color and the CF diffusor + MPE with CF tips, when beholding the rear of the car. A kind of finishing touch. He sent me a couple of pics to show me how it looked (actually, the only pics I ever saw of my car so far). I cut him some slack and reassured that I don't mind keeping it. Apart from the looks, if it even adds a tiny fraction of stability at high speed, it's worth keeping it. And yes, I may give it the beans on the German Autobahn later this year, checking whether the M Driver's Package for the M2 truly delimits the V-max. Anyways, if you get to see pics of my ride in the future, do know that the CF deck spoiler was my dealer's choice, rather than mine. Oh well, maybe I even like it.

I am speechless. No words can describe the last 20 minutes I spent on my way back home. I will have to take time off of this forum until I can get my head straight.
