Dealer Installed Roof Graphic

Had a local club member get a graphic for her roof installed at the dealer. Her coop is a hard top but the size of the graphic looks like it's intended for a sunroof application. Aren't they usually suppose to cover the whole top?

I have never seen one be short like that. where did she get it from. There are designs that cover just the sun roof and others that cover the entire roof. but that just looks weird.

I know some people have had problems with putting the graphics on the Clubman due to the dunes that run the length of the roof but that again is a different story.

I am wondering if it was a graphic for the R53 and not the R56. I know there is some difference is size between the tow roofs but I am sure if it is that much.

Even if that was for an R53, would it's corners be so sharp? The graphic is like a perfect rectangle.

I've seen some short like that, looks fine, but if you wanted the whole roof, I'd take it back, because that's what you paid for

There are actually several graphic sizes available from various sources. This one looks like the type offered by MINI Mania. I think of if as a "midi" sized graphic. It may not be what was hoped for, but it is as designed.

Ya, if it was for a sunroof it would be much smaller than that. Definetly take it back if its not ur taste though.
