And not optional, but being a GTI it had a black ceiling, which the normal Lupo didn't have.
Was a great little car!!

I forgot about the Xenon lights!!

On a slightly different take to the question of rarely seen factory fitted options, in 1990 I bought a 2 year old Peugeot 205 GTi in silver with no sunroof. The sliding glass sunroof was always an optional extra but when was the last time you saw a GTi without one fitted?.
When I came to sell it, the dealer offered me less in part exchange as it didn't have the roof but now would be considered more desirable as it was rarer although this was the standard spec.

On the subject of climatronic, presumably Mk3 Golfs with climatronic were very rare?
I've only seen one or two. And try finding a Porsche 968 or 964 with climate control inc. a/c! They're also rare, mostly because it was an expensive option and the economy in the early 90's was on its knees.SS7

Very few new cars are specced with sunroofs these days.
With the advent of mass convertibles, have they become virtually obsolete? At one time it was a inclusive feature.
Loads of cars now come with Panoramic sunroofs, some as standard, like the 5 series GT a colleague has just ordered.With the advent of mass convertibles, have they become virtually obsolete? At one time it was a inclusive feature.
Rare Options? Leather again would be my suggestion: MK7 Golf R, it's £1,750 for the Vienna leather or £2,615 for the Nappa leather

BMW E39 5 series integrated sun blinds. Specced them on my company car when the kids were small, so much more convenient that the stick-on versions.
