[majorfracas]

I tried my hand at making my own roof top flag.

Any body else got one?

Graphic looks good, not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat captain

Superb job, majorfracas!

I'm interested to know how you created it. Please share a "How-To."

I just used a drawing program to create the graphic ( sodipodi ), scaled it up to the correct size and printed it out on multiple pieces of paper. I taped the paper together to create the full size layout. Then I cut each piece and used it as a pattern to cut out the self-adhesive vinyl (purchased from Rally Grafix ). Then it's just peel and stick. (Actually this is the hardest part and I've got bubbles, creases and tears in the vinyl to prove it.)

BTW, I also decided to make sure the graphic would fully fit within the sunroof, as I was uncertain as to how long I wanted to keep it on. I figure if it only lasts the summer, then that's OK. I suspect it may be removed from glass with some ease and less chance of damaging the paint.

Very good. Looks very professional. Is this your first attempt at something like this? If so you did a fantastic job

[jwardell]

I love 'em! I was going to get checkerboard sunroof when I get my Mini but I've got a month to brainstorm somehing cool. You guys did a great job.

Binkydognose: Well done! Very nice graphic and even better that it's one-of-a-kind.

As far as the quality of my roof, it is strictly a hack job. If you saw it up close, you would not be impressed. I'm pleased with the graphic, it's the application that is lacking. Next time, I may have to go the route of Binkydognose...if I only had a friend in the business. ;-)

Is your friend willing to extend special prices to mini2-ers?

Cheers!

Thanks! I would hope MINI2'ers would get a good price, most probably. His name is Brandon and his family business is http://www.gorepro.com in Phoenix Arizona.

These aren't DIY, but some of them are really great. Have you seen this thread yet?
