Fake F57?
First . . . I'm a new guy so please excuse my ignorance.
I recently purchased a 2016 F57. It has JCW seats, steering wheel, shift ****, wheels and body kit. It's chili red with the black racing stripes. Basically everything except the brakes and badges.
Is this still a JCW F57?
thanks in advance

Just Don't Do It
-sincerely, someone who has an actual JCW
EDIT: also note, those are not the JCW seats. yes the cloth pattern is the same, but the seat itself is different.

Do not fake badge a car as a JCW. The engine itself is different in a JCW as well as suspension, exhaust, and I believe transmission as well even. slapping badges on it would be like slapping M3 badges on a 328 with an M3 body kit.

Good point. No badges.
But the brakes calipers do look a lot better.
I’ll be doing other modifications as well.

+1 JCW appearance packages or someone added on those at the dealership. I like the JCW packages as the car looks better. You could later down the road and get the brake kit, its a huge improvement. Then get a Dinan or Burger tuner. It will be faster and then you have the brakes for stopping. One happy F57 S
