R55 Checkered Roof
#3
The dealer is going to probably sub it out. However they are using vinyl that is already pre made for your car. You can get some recommendations for local vinyl shops and take a chance. I went through 3 shops before finally finding one that did a good job. It is a job for someone who is detail oriented or with loads of experience.
My roof was done an first with checkered pattern and then next two times with solid colors. To do it right you have to have good blade skills to trim it and/or skills getting it under the moldings, antenna, etc. And also you don't want to catch dirt, bugs, air bubbles, etc. Isn't really all that easy to do.

DIY or a graphic shop can do it. Some oem options here:

Note on the genuine MINI option you will have some with or without the sunroof.

Did the roof part red and the glass checked, could have done it all checked. The place I did it was pretty bad at the job and the edges came up on the glass. They redid it and it still peeled up. They charged a bit over $300 but in the end I wound up not paying and pulled it off and went Purple for a year. After than I switched to Titanium brushed metallic and love it. The checks were printed on perforated film so light still comes through.

I had a union jack put on my sunroof by a company called Fastsigns. They charged $200 and printed the flag themselves. This was nine years ago and it still looks good.
Fastsigns is a nationwide franchise they have a locator on their website.

It was pretty easy. I used a spray bottle of water with a tiny bit of detergent, sprayed the window, laid the graphic down and used a plastic squeegee.
