Yes it is silver. I'm sure it is the one you saw. Interesting idea about the test streamers. A tech I know who used to work for Audi back in the day said that they used to put some disguise body pieces on their cars to put miles on them and keep them from being recognized when being driven about. This doesn't make too much sense as it was a '91 and had been on the market for two years. Here are some pics. It was hard to get my phone to focus properly and see the dots.
