Default Best color to go with the titanium S-line plus wheels (excluding white)?

Ok, so now that the 2014s only have the S-line Plus titanium wheels as an option (no more standard S-line package) I am trying to figure out what color car to get.

I previously had an S-line (nonplus) 2012 Daytona grey and loved it. However, I feel like the titanium wheels look like normal wheels with a lot of brake dust. Is there a better color combo?

I am considering lava grey, phantom black, monsoon grey and daytona again.

Thanks for any input.

I ordered Scuba Blue with S-line+ (in early Aug). But that was before I realized the S-line+ wheels were titanium. I'm having second thoughts about the color combo.

Does anyone have any pictures of this color combination, on a Q5 or any other vehicle?

I ordered my S Line + in Daytona. I won't see mine until end of November or early October.

I have monsoon grey on my 3.2 and love it so I went with Daytona this time to a get a little change. I haven't seen any 14's yet with the S-Line on the road or at dealers near me. Going to drive by a few this week though, I'll take pictures if they have any.

If anybody is in the tri-state area, there are a few S-lines in the darker colors (at least according to dealer websites inventory) If a few pics can be taken. My order is a S-line in Monsoon and I am a little worried about the color combo as well. The closest I found locally were two Q7's, one in a dark blue and the other in Daytona. In my opinion, the S-line looked better against the blue compared to the Daytona.

Honestly, my dealer has not had a 2014 in yet with the S-line Plus. Does anyone know what the "high gloss back package" entails. Is the grill dark like the 2012 S-line plus package?

On the TDI version (for sure), it seems to be the same grill. There are some pictures on the TDI order tracking thread. I have not seen any pictures of the 2014 3.0T with S-line.

Black roof bars, black window trim, black grill, titanium peelers.

Yes, the grill is gloss black, the window trim is black rubber, and the roof rails are matte black.

Yes, that's the look. I am picking up my Glacier White S-line this week and will post pictures after a detailing this weekend.
