Roof Graphics

Ok I'm thinking about getting some vinyl graphics for the roof of my clubman, hopefully a checkerboard, but I can't seem to find a image of a clubman with a silver roof and a sunroof that has this graphic. As well anyone have any suggestions as to who would sell this? I've found the checkerboard graphic for a clubman without the sunroof, but not with.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Try minimotoringgraphics.com or cooperflags.com. Cf is a little more difficult to find their roof graphics, but they were $225 cheaper for my perforated sunroof/full roof vinyl.

[edit]: I wanted to take a second to discuss the customer service I received from MMG, or Original Wraps (the parent company recently bought out by 3M). They had an issue with their new system applying a discount code I found online, but they refunded my purchase and allowed me to buy it using the discount code (20% off yo!). The guy said they only use OEM state of the art super great blah blah printing, ink, and vinyl not the cheap stuff you'll find elsewhere. The MMG website has an AWESOME feature where you can submit your own graphics or play with a bunch of stuff on their website to create your own graphics in whatever color combos or symbols you want (I was playing with skulls on the A-panels for instance). They sound a bit pricy, but it seems like good stuff. I'll update when my interior dash decals come in.

Just be prepared if you with Copper Flags they don't have any customer service! I ordered some grille badges, got a its orderd email. I emailed and called them about my order and never got any response for 2 weeks then one day my package is on my front porch. I emailed and called trying to order a graphic for my roof to no avail

Same experience here, however $225 is quite a price difference...

I contacted robert below for a custom made roof graphic for my 2011 Clubman. I told him what I wanted (dull checker board on my black roof- see my gallery). He set the whole thing up to include the installer coming to my house and installing the wrap in my garage. I am very happy with the 3M product and how it turned out. I get many comments on it.

I had a Union Jack graphic made for my sunroof at Fast Signs. They are a national chain that make the perforated, see through graphics for the sides of buses. It cost $200 including installation.

Dave - Any pictures? For the life of me I can't recall it. I'll check the local site as well. I'm trying to come up with something for my clubman.

I like the look of the sunroof only graphic, thinking that this might be a better way to go, not as over the top as doing the full roof. Hopefully I can find someone around here that can do the install once spring arrives.

I know that you are now thinking about the sunroof-only option, but I thought I'd show you my full-roof Blackjack that I had made.

It was done by a company local to me that does advertising/vinyl wrapping for vans, busses, etc. It has the perforated vinyl on the sunroof and solid vinyl on the rest of the roof. They designed and applied it themselves. I decided to go that route due to the fact that they are local, and if I had a problem they would be able to address it. I'll bet you can find someone locally yourself and have whatever you want made.

If you don't mind, what did it cost you? Did they break it down for parts/labor?

Reebus all I can say is wow, I love it. Turns out that there is a Fast Signs location close to me, so I'll have to check them out and see if they could do the blackjack wrap for either just the sunroof or possibly the entire car. I'm guessing that I will have to wait until springtime as winter and freezing temps just can't be good for installing vinyl wrap

They charged me $500.00 out the door. I had priced them for a full roof Clubman with perforated sunroof anywhere from $375.00 $435.00 before shipping. I didn't think that $125 to install was outrageous.

By the way, I wasn't satisfied with one of the sunroof panels after they frst installed it. They made a new one and replaced it no charge.
