Default AU Sunroof??

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if their was any model AU that had a sunroof??
I swear i saw one in town a while ago, (black, body kit, dumped, sunroof etc)
It looked a dream.

When i update to a new car (few years yet) I will be getting another AU, this time with a sunroof..
I think there is places that will do sunroofs for you, however id imagine it would be fairly time consuming.. therefor expensive.

Sunroof was an option on XR's I'm sure of, not sure if it was on the rest of the range though.

From memory you are looking at just under 2k installed for a new one.

If you goto any sunroof installation place and ask for the full electric Hollandia brand sunroof (around 2k i think) that is the sunroof ford fitted, they didn't install them in house it was done by an outside company
