It's worth checking the DME is nice and clean at this point too! Go for an 88c tstat which will run the engine cooler and no longer uses the mapped tstat connection. You will get a 140 MAP Cooling error but no check engine light!
Thanks! I like original too but I might like anthracite better in combination with the blue. I have read about the coolant getting to the DME, must check this because I found a picture on my phone with the same error code from January 2020!

It's my favorite too! The two pictures wheels are in OK condition but the other 2 need some work. Paint/powdercoat chipping of because curb rash.

I was given a front style 87 in perfect condition. Now I just need one more front and 2 rear. Maybe I can be lucky enough to find someone selling a set of 3 after they ruined a front one hitting a pot hole...
I think the same on the color! Good luck with your search

What spacers please?
25mm rear, 20mm front. Still have some space left. 30mm rear and 25mm front would fit too.
