JCW Stripes on a MCS?

Will the dealer be able to add the black/red JCW stripes to a MCS, or will I have to have take the car to a shop to get the stripes put on?

I don't see why not. They're an orderable part number. Dealer orders stripes, installs, gives you a bill, done.

Pretty easy DIY, if you like

I put a set of black JCW side stripes on my VO f55 last month - it is a fun DIY if you like that sort of thing.

ECS coughed up the oem stripe kit in four days for short money (like less than $100). The product is labeled 3M and is great quality and comes with fixturing templates, use Rapid Tac to install and the rest is easy. My daughter and I spent less than two hours on the project, amazingly the book time per the factory instructions is .75 hours !

First time I'd tried applying vinyl, and I'll bet my installation is as good as a dealer would provide. The black side stripes make a heck of a visual impact on the orange car.

I ordered the Black/white pin stripe bonnet stripes when I ordered my car. I'll run it over to a local pin-stripe shop and have them make the white pin-stripe red, Also having them paint the chrome grill cross-piece red for the full effect.

Ordering stripes through the dealer are then run through a 3rd party. That company can pretty much put on whatever you want. Except maybe putting stripes that were designed for a CM on an F56 like i thought about doing.

dcummer do you have pics of the side stripes on the VO? I have a VO MCS too and would love to put some stripes low on the sides.
