I also found a forum where someone described swapping the auto for a manual. It was also mentioned there that this is the only way to have a manual 3L.
All Lupo 3L are with robot automatic. So you can take the robot changer off and put regular cables or change the whole gearbox. I will not leave the robotic gearbox on because changes take about 0.7 seconds and its not smooth changes.

Found and test droved one that I will most likely buy on monday if all paperwork are in order at the moment we have agreed on 2100€. Lets see if I can drop it even more on monday.

Tomorrow to porsche museum and also mercedes museum
