RS4 cabrio - Which color???

I want a black interior and black top, so which exterior color goes well with it???

I can't take out of my head a misano red car with black top, black wheels, all windows tinted and lowered suspension. I'm afraid to get tired from the red color too soon, and i know that a red car will depreciate quicker because very few people like that color. Most say that red car only in a ferrari...

A silver could be a nice choice too, but it won't make the same contrast as black and red...

PS: IMHO a widebody car must have a light exterior color to make the difference from the others cars. A dirty black car it will seem at the first look a random car. I have this opinion because i have a steel grey E46 M3 and i wish i had ordered it in white or silver.

I agonised over the same colour issue back in april. I think Mugello only looks right with the silver interior. Wasn't sure about Daytona on a cab - looks great on a saloon/avant. I didn't want a too loud a colour so I ended up with this, which I absolutely love.

Oh and I had a silver S4 cab before it.

White is an interesting choice and one that works well in hotter climates.

Not sure if I'd choose this interior though

Since there isn't much RS4 B7 bodies on the street, and the RS4 is a exclusive car compared with the 1.8t that as very similar appearance, i want to make the difference against the others B7 to justify all the extra money everytime i look at the car.

I like also the silver, but with the silver i will lose the aluminium windshield and mirrors look. Especially the mirrors that make the difference to the others B7 (except the S4, but this is a special car too).

I think that the white looks good only in the sedan. For me it is a too racing color for a cabrio.

About the Blue i think that it isn't a color for a everyday car. I will tire to soon with that color.

The black is always that color that you can't go wrong, but from the pics that i have seem, in the black cars you barely notice the fogs and front mesh and grilles and the rear exhaust diffuser, from the others B7 with S-Line exterior. You can see a wider car but not as wider as with light colors.

This is what i learned from my E46 M3 experience, light colors give a wider look and you notice better all the grilles shape than dark colors, and with a black top will evidence more the cabrio line.

PS: Thank a lot for all your inputs. This is really a nice forum to share some thoughts. :wink:
