I think the silver mirror caps go with the cabrio (especially on darker colors) since the A-pillars are also silver.

I may look into getting black or CF mirror caps for my Ibis white S5 eventually. The silver is close enough to white to not make getting body colored (white) worth it to me.

Default I am just a sucker for Daytona Grey...

I have had nine Audis and four have been Daytona Grey - the color always looks great... the red interior on the Cabriolet will be super. Our one Cabriolet (2009) was black and after detailing, it looked soooo good - for about an hour. If you do go black, get something other than Brilliant Black, which has no metal flake. The other black colors do include metal and thus are more forgiving... sort of like Ibis white versus Glacier White (I have also had two Glacier White Audis - the metal flake is very forgiving)

Happy Hunting

Eric
