If someone was silly enough to put an aftermarket sunroof on it, then I'll eat my desk!!

I'm sure it'll be fine mate  :smiley:

Yup - complete weirdos.  Why did I ever register on this site??!!

Nah - seriously, I've gotten great help from everyone here so far - so thanks to everybody.  This'll be my only my second car, and the first that I haven't had personal knowledge of it's entire history before buying - so I just want to make sure everything is all correct and proper!

Nige_s, any pics I've seen of white, red, blue etc GTIs with sunroofs, the sunroof is black on the exterior, not body colour - leading me to believe it's a glass sunroof.  Is that not right?

Appreciate that Alan.  Can you confirm that it is a glass sunroof?

Is there any chance anybody knows where I might find a pdf copy of the VW brochure for the mkV GTI online?

Steel or glass, I'm no expert but I reckon an aftermarket sunroof will be a dead easy spot.  Like I said if its got fully integrated controls slides into the roof space between the headlining its got to be factory.  Open it and if the panel/recess is pressed/shape out of the same steel as the roof its real. 

Aftermarket ones will most likely be manually operated, via a clunky latch near your head and tilt only.  Will have a big weather strip for the panel to sit in.

It'll be obvious if its not factory.
