Rooftop Graphics

Bernard Cline · Post by **Bernard Cline** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:34 pm

I have a scratch on the back panel of the sunroof on Big Papi from when I bought him. As part of the "we owe" to me from Baron they have agreed to put on a free graphic of my choice. I asked about replacing the panel but according to them MINI will not cover that under the warranty. So I have 2 questions for all of you. 1.) Is not replacing the panel accurate and should I force it? 2.) I do want to put a graphic on him and if I go that route are there any suggestions? Let me know, thanks.

If you want the graphic, then go that route. A scratch is not warranty, it's either a transportation problem or a dealership problem, my guess is that's why they're offering to do the graphic. I find that the factory shade doesn't block much of the sun, so a graphic would help with that.

So do I see a big bright red Boston B sunroof in your future? The #34? A panorama of the Green Monster, perhaps?

I'd talk to Todd and see what he can do for you - he does some amazing stuff. Keep up posted!

Well it has been a few weeks and the the graphic has been chosen and is on the R56. Todd did a Blackjack, which if you are not aware is a monochromatic union jack covering the suroof portion of the roof.

Big Papi is a pure silver R56 with a black roof so the choice of graphic looks awesome.

Thank you Todd!!!!

Hey Saturn, does that help with the sunlight?

My inner shade barely cuts it on a sunny day.........

It cuts it down quite considerably! I'd say the shade alone cut's out about 25-35%, and the roof graphic another 25-35% so it definitely helps. If you're thinking about getting one, I have a PMS book and we can match the color (as close as possible) to your car, which is what I did. As far as installation, have it done by a professional, it's kind of a pain. I did mine myself (stubborn DIY'R) and after I got half way done, realized I had made a really stupid mistake and put the back on the front and visa-versa!

I just left it that way as kind of a homage to my cheapness!

I would suggest talking to Todd with Todd Graphics, he did mine and it looks great maybe he can work a deal for you (don't know if possible just suggesting).

The yellow union jack looks nice, great color matching.

Very cool!! Whenever I get enough money I'm going to get some sort of roof graphic for my Mini.

Is Todd Graphics local? What is his contact info? I looked around on all the posts and couldn't locate it, sorry if it is right under my nose somewhere around here - thanks.
