krieglupo Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Ok, I didn't think they'd bother with Leather in a small car like this, but Whatcars picture seems to show that they did. Sorry that I find this surprising, you guys are probably like yeah, it was, big deal. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yep it was an option on most lupo models and standard on the colour concept.Not that suprising though really, a ford ka luxury has leather standard for £8.5K style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean though, they certainly don't invite you to 'rest' your head, they're clearly more whiplash prevention that comfort oriented.

MattyA Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I love the look of the 'doughnut' Lupo headrests, reminds me of earlier Audi's, not nice to rest your head on though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Jens green 1.0 had solid headrests. Only the very early lupos got them. SteveWP's 1.0 wasonly about 6months younger than Jens and that had doughnut style ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 but it must be really hard to see out the rear window with solid headrests!!!Its not too bad, ive never had a problem really. I think they sit lower than the doughnut style ones.But they are much more comfy than the round ones style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'd go for aesthetics over function, every time! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canonman Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Does anyone have a lupo with the old style dash with leather? not seen one before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krieglupo Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Oh right, sorry I was so stupid to think that was a cool find PMSL.I've not seen one yet on Autotrader with it, so that's why I thought it was strange. Then again, there is only like 8 within a radius of 60 miles of me.Anyone got pics of the 'doughnut' headrests, I think I know what you mean but just to be sure.If you are talking about what I think, my dad's A2 has the 'doughnut' type.

LoopyLing Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The headrests with holes in are better for tall people!! The solid headrests are better for falling asleep on as they're mega-squishy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krieglupo Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Haha, the ones with holes remind me of old Vauxhall minicabs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Don't know about them being better for taller people, as the only way I can get comfy with them is to have them raised as high as possible and rest my head inside the 'hole'. I have to put it back down when I get out the car though ,as it looks odd parked up with one really tall headrest!And also you cant jump the seats forward as they hit the roof.Solid headrests are definitely more practical, but its looks that are important style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Lol nothing wrong with your headrests, actually I think they suit the arosa seats better as the arosa seats have squarer corners.Just wondering are your front headrests tilted forward for comfort then? looks a bit odd to mee as the back ones are straight style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
