I have been looking for a TT, preferably an 02, but might consider an 01 for the right deal. My problem with the 01, besides the lack of a glove box is the front bumper. Can the black warts be easily removed without leaving any marks on the bumper, or would the whole bumper have to be replaced?

 

The "warts" are bumperettes on early production 01 models. According to a friend who has one they could not be removed. He bought a new bumper w/o the warts.

 

They can be removed but the cost to repair the hole is not worth it. The front OEM cover is not that bad and can be bought at a resonable price.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Only early 01's have the front bumperettes, not later 01's.

The primary benefit of an '01 (and the reason I bought one), is that they're 80 lbs lighter than all the other model years.

 

I just bought a used one from Sharky it's getting painted now...i think

 

For 80 lbs less, I think I could live without a glovebox. How is there such a difference?

 

The non-bose stereo also sheds a few pounds.

 

so no glove box and non bose = 80 lbs less?? wow didnt know that

 

my 01 doesnt have em....

was there a no-cost delete option?? (82lbs lighter??lol)

born-on = 05/01

 

My 01 doens't have them either or the solid spoke wheels.

 

Yes, there was a no-cost delete option (option code 059)

 

CONFIRMED

059 on my bonnet decal.

nice to know!!
