MINI Introduces New Roof Decals

Great designs however it be be nicer to bring your own design to the dealer when buying a (new) Mini or just to order the decal of your own design for your Mini.

My favorite roof decal design is the one with the opening zipper. It looks terrific on a black roof for sure.

The MINI roof decals are cheaper than the aftermarket products I have seen. $300 for a vinyl aftermarket decal is a lot of moola IMO….

But if you have to have your own design, that extra chunk of cash may be well worth it to you.

I got the MINI OEM Union Jack flag in my MCS. It looks great and nothing shouts more like “Heritage” than an UJ roof sticker.

Do they(MINIUSA dealerships) install factory decals on roofs with a moonroof and still be able to see out of it?

I think most of the OEM decals they sell are intended for solid roofs only, but I could be wrong. I don't have a sunroof in my MCS.

There is a company called Cooperflags.com that sells the perforated vinyl roof graphics for MINIs equipped with factory sunroofs. They also will custom create a roof flag based on your own design, for a price of course.

The striped one that looks like the awnings of my great grandfathers house in 1935 is realy ugly! and the Camo is weird and has me worried but the others are fun… the tartan would be fun to order as a custom design in your Family design from cooperflags.com if you have Scottish ancestors… I wonder how long before the some of the Chavs in the UK have one in the Burbery Tartan? :)

I went to my dealer today and they were installing a checkered flag on their test drive MCS with a sunroof. It's perforated to see out of, but does dim the roof a bit.

I personally think that all of the 5 new decals posted above look bad. The zipper one may be an exception. I like the idea of a “this side up' decal… that would be great. Otherwise.. i agree with R

Tawn, you’ll probably want to contact a local vinyl shop. Todd Pearson is in Kansas City, MO and does tons of MINIs and would probably design and generate the design for a local shop to apply, if that works better.

Did they even think to match the decals to the car. All of them are hideous. They won’t match any color you paint the car. And they just don’t fit the mini at all.
