I think they are the same. The Cabrio lid will automatically come with a basket-handle.

Thanks
The one I found (cabrio) has a basket handle. This is the donor lid for me to paint and put an RS wing on my car. I just can't decide whether to leave the basket handle or have to install the rear window mounted one. I'd rather leave the basket handle but with the rear wing (I've seen a photo, it's kind of busy) I probably should do the high window one. My goal was to preserve my existing engine lid completely intact and make another lid with fixed wing, that way down the road if I ever needed to sell my car, a buyer could return it to stock if desired.

IMO, if going with the RS wing, lose the basket handle.

Also, post pics when you get this done--love the RS look with midnight blue!

Generally agree about wing and no handle, but I came to my senses. I have no business buying an engine lid and aero parts when I'm $4800 away from having the car paid for. I will have to wait and keep watching for Ebay lids and aero parts sales. I put the idea away for a while

I sort of remember the engine covers for the cab and coupe are different lengths. So I think the answer to your original question is, no.
