The dealer I got mine from thought I was absolutely nuts to order it that way. They must have asked me a dozen times if I was sure and made me confirm it in writing. I would guess the total would be under 20.

I was curious ... I suspect you are right that the numbers are quite low ... I know in the states when ordering them the sales people will really discourage the delete of the sunroof...

Also I assume it weakens the torsional strength of the whole roof, and adds weight.

I had 3 reasons to order the sunroof delete option:
#1- 1.5" more headroom. I have a tall sitting height and needed the clearance for a helmet.
#2- I like the cleaner look of the roof without the sunroof seam.
#3- The sunroof adds about 30lbs to the very highest point of the car effecting the center of gravity significantly.

It's done and it looks great, never liked the sunroof.
