Questions on ordering a 08 MCS

all,

newbie here. Got some Qs on ordering a 08 mcs.

1) Can I have black surroundings around the grill w/o ordering the jcw sports kit?
2) is it possible to get red calipers for mcs?
3) any one got the jcw 18" matte black rims on their car? does it look ok w/o lowering? (pics?)

thx!!!!

You can go aftermarket for items 1 and 2, or paint your calipers after you buy it. As for 3 imho the mini needs to be lowered, I'm not a fan of wheel gap.

1. the black grill trim, you can just buy aftermarket and install yourself. its not that hard.
2. i think for red calipers you have to upgrade to the jcw ones, or you can go the cheap way and paint it yourself. outmortoring has both caliper paint and the jcw black grill trim
3. the jcw 18s are really expensive and may i add, 18 inches. there are a lot of aftermarket options for that price imo.
