anything can be made to fit, will just need to fabricate up some subframes

No idea... without seeing the seats and investigating im not sure how much materials and time it would require... anything from about £15 up to £60 for a pair I would imagine depending on just how complicated it is...... but as I say, without looking at the parts and working out whats needed... I honestly cant imagine there is much in it....

I did a similar thing in my TVR...fitted new cerb seats... had to disasemble the seay base and weld up some adapters so they would bolt to the floor...

He has kept the standard Lupo rear bench and modifed the Golf GTI rear headrests so that they fit the Lupo bench, according to his thread on Dubclique :)
