What are the chances of finding this car?

I am looking to buy a 996 TT but want some certain options. Am I being realistic trying to find a low mile car (35k or less) with a factory aerokit, X50, Tiptronic and a sunroof delete? Does this car exist? I have yet to find one but have only been looking for about a week.

Sunroof delete will make it super hard to find, next aerokit, then x50

you are buying a used car right? Because it sounds more like you are filling out a build sheet... Buy new if you feel so strong about your "build list". Sunroof delete.... good luck.. sunroof delete and tip? Go play lotto my man

everything is easy to fix tho. weld the sunroof shut and swap some k24s into base auto for $2k. aerokit is an easy retrofit too.

I know the sunroof delete will be damn near impossible! If I found an aero kit and an X-50 I would be stoked!

If sunroof delete can be a cabriolet, then you have a chance.... I actually looked for quite some time for any sunroof delete car and only encountered one. I ended up with a sunroof, but all of my other requirements met. If you want to make it harder, look for white over black too

The bugger is that there is not enough head room with a helmet on... Oh well, it is not really a track car anyway.

Why would you want a slow, heavy tip with sunroof delete?

Sunroof delete is a rare option but I'm wondering what the real world demand for that is?

The sunroof delete is going to be near impossible. Guys would have gotten a GT2 or GT3RS instead. My is an 03 factory aerokit, PCCB, and X50 with 18K on it. I bought it with 3K on it.

From what I read, X50+tip= no!

If you want a tip, get a flash and forget about the X50.

The sunroof on the tt is the least intrusive of any car with sunroof I've ever been in. The amount of space lost by the sunroof is minimal. So my question is, why sunroof delete?

The sunroof delete is more for weight reduction. The better choice is a GT2 that comes standard with all the options (X50, an even more radical aero kit, better suspension, wider wheels and tires, extra radiator, track oriented seats, with deletion of thesunroof roof, rear seat, AWD. The only thing you'll never find on a GT2 is a tip.
