The cutest thing might be simply to sit there with a placard:
This. Is. Not. ArtNow, would that be a protest?
Well, it would certainly wasting a once in a lifetime opportunity to show-off...

Gormley's idea is clearly streets ahead of the others. (Yesterday I actually heard people talking about in the lift and, well, meercats, really...) Sadly though, I don't think he will win for the idea is just too scarily democratic - "I mean they could do anything".
My prediction: they'll turn it down on fabricated health and safety grounds and go for the conventional, low risk (and seriously, seriously dull) anti-Iraq War option instead.
Mind you, if they are looking for a good car..
