Roof graphics

Howdy and Congrats to all new F56 owners!

Quick question....For anyone ordering whole roof or sunroof graphics, were they installed at the factory or the port, or did the dealer install them and charge you an additional amount??

Thanks.

Mine (Checkered Sunroof) was done at the factory. They installed the side scuttles there as well. My MA said that was the best option to save some $$$.

Apologies for a bit off topic, I have a MINI with a black roof, but maybe one year, I'd like to see what it would be like to have a white roof, would a temporary roof wrap be a relatively easy thing to have done, and when removed, would it damage the paint underneath? I know next to nothing about this, so anyone's opinions would help. Thanks!

Vinyl actually protects the paintunderneath. The only thing that could damage the paint would be sloppy trimming work since they use a razor blade. Anyone who does it professionally will be fine though.

Thanks for that info! Makes me feel better about considering it in the future!
