Most teams will be working 24 hrs a day on the final manufacturing stages and load testing/validation of next weeks test wing packages this weekend
These parts will be flown out/driven over night to hopefully make it to at least one of the days of running

I could be misremembering, but I seem to recall a period where the part of the car that had to be checked in advance, crash testing, etc, would be on display from some teams.
But the bolt ons such as the wings would still not be according to the new rule book.
Now it seems every reveal is last years car in a new wrap/livery.
