Will it fit with a factory fitted sunroof without copping the cage anyone fitted one to a car with a factory fitted sunroof?

nope definitely wont fit!  Right ball-ache getting the original sunroof out and all it's tray too.  Not to mention finding a way of blocking the big hole up!  I ended up just going for the metal panel and rivets method

I'd love a photo of the sunroof with head lining removed. Surely just some bits could be removed to fit cage and sure the sunroof wouldn't work, but wouldn't need to come out?

it sits in a big metal tray that's glued to the inside of the roof and spot welded around the sunroof hole.

May be possible to cut a slot in it the width of the car for the rollover hoop to fit in although you'd also have to cut through the tracks inside that the sunroof slides down as well as the workings that go inside it.  Having said that, the front part of the cage might also be in the way of the sides of the tray around the sunroof hole.

Possibly turn into as much work as removing it.

It won't fit with the sunroof in - I chopped my cage down few inches to get it to fit which is a bitch of a job as the angle of the cage mounting points change.

Also you will suffer from side bar being way to low to be of any use if you get T-barred.
