Roof Vinyl (R55/R56) with Sun Roof

Hey everyone, I'd love to see some R55/R56 roof vinyl shots. I have a sun roof and was either looking at just adding vinyl over the sun roof only or do one large one across the top and cover the sun roof as part of it. Post your shots, would love to see em! (sorry if this has been posted already)

sorry that i can't help with any pictures as mine won't be in until august.

but i was curious as to how to cover up the sunroof (and provide a little more shade when they're closed). i was thinking that my lightning blue with silver roof (clubman) would look pretty sharp with a matching sliver vinyl over the sunroofs; so that it would almost look like it didn't have sunroofs until they were open.

has this been done before?

They make roof decals that cover the whole roof including the sunroof. They look really good. I am not a big fan of doing just the sunroof & think it looks much better to do the whole thing

Has anyone installed a perforated sunroof graphic? I have one and was wondering how difficult they are to install.

Only the white is vinyl, correct?

Where did you get this done, and do they make any of the factory colors?

Yeah only the white.

I just asked for it when I ordered the car because I didn't like the runroof only checks. The dealership (Brisbane Mini) have a company who does all their custom work. They can do anything I would imagine. They have done some cool cars, one of my favourites was a Yellow mini "General Lee" it looked sweet as.

Mike at Aesthetic Creations did my roof graphic. I still wanted it to look like it had a white roof when viewed from the side so he made a complete roof graphic with a gradient fade in effect.

Yep! I do the voice for Spidey on the show so I was down there for Season 2 promotion. Nobody really got to see it though. The hotel was right across the street from the convention center so I just walked everywhere once I was there.

That's great! I've make the trek down to SD every year for the past 4 years. Each year it gets a little more crowded and crazier. Very cool roof graphic.
