lupogtiboy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 big chris used to have a 3 seat rear bench. its quite a rare option as far as i know. i'll have a look on etka, tho can't post any pics up at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scally Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 im sure i read that they push out the side pockets in the back to make more space in the 3 seat lupos. dunno if thats true though. i saw one when i was looking for my lupo that just have a 3rd seatbelt in the middle, was aftermarket, as it was different from the other two.

lupo_gaz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 theres got to be someone on here with a pic of a lupo with the 3rear seats in. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) why try to fit a 3rd in the back? i think its a very good idea that vw put 2 full seats in the back makes it better for the passangers Edited March 14, 2007 by 2001gti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 It is a very rare option, and I have to agree I don't like it much. I don't think the cubby holes are missing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_gaz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 hey i'm not sitting in the back lol. only joking. i never have 1 in the back to i'll not have 3 i just wondered if anyone else had them or had a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 i'm pretty sure when i saw Chris's, the cubby holes were still there, and the rear bench was one-piece rather than a 50-50 split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoxy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) There's a geezer on E38 who has two GTIs, a silver one and a blue one. The bonnet of the silver one has been smoothed, it's debadged at the rear and it was running G60 steels at one point. I think this car has a three seater rear bench.

Unheard Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) the main reason they didnt bother with a 3rd seat in most lupos in the uk was because of the insurance if there is a 3rd seat there is the potentual for more people to be killed... thus more for the insurance to pay out bumping it up into a higher insurance grouping that is one of the main reasons the equivalent spec polo to my lupo sport is in a higher insurance bracket Edited March 14, 2007 by Unheard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it might have a bearing on insurance, I'm pretty sure that's not the reason the lupo was designed with two seats in the rear style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />The cost for the option was £55 in the UK.

Philplop Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 No, he sold it on, didn't have it very long. He lived in Cumbria, his name was 'VR6 Lupo' I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
