lupo1.0se Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Reason for this question is this one came up.

mickster Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The story I heard was that all the Jap Lupos were shipped over at the same time, same spec just 3 different colours. It's hard to tell from the photo but could the sunroof be a retrofit? I've seen some odd ones on UK cars (light grey against the dark grey/black headlining). Not sure on the aircon though, seems like it would be a bigger job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the aircon though, seems like it would be a bigger job! AC was standard i believe. Looking at the sunroof pic closely it has a plastic bracket round it. Also it would be electric too (this does not look like it) and it does not fit flush. This one does look like a retro fit.

Mattymdm Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 The ad does state 'Volkswagen Lupo GTi with Rare Webasto Sunroof' Looks like its a uk company specialising in sunroof retrofits. https://www.webasto-comfort.com/en-uk/roof-solutions/car/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Webasto have been going for decades, it should be a quality product: https://www.webasto-comfort.com/en-uk/roof-solutions/car/ You can right click on the image and open in another tab to get a bigger image or even save to your hard drive to zoom in - the interior shot looks like it has been well installed. ...but personally I would see its addition to the car as a negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed the rear lights are the SE ones too, shame the sunroof isn't original as that looks a nice clean car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
