I have an '87 S, in Alpinweiß with black, all original interior except for the radio.

73k miles, bought in October of 2025.

List of things I've repaired or replaced:

- Rebuilt the oil cooler
- New motor mounts
- Air oil separator seals
- Fuel injector O-rings
- Fuel sender seal
- Oil pressure sender
- Idle control valve
- Power steering pump
- Glove box arms
- Media console tray
- Hood pad
- Hatchback lock seal
- Hatchback seal
- Hatchback pin receiver
- Wiring for rear compartment light
- Re-finished the gauge reflector well and upgraded to LEDs

I just received a ton of parts to do a water pump and timing refresh, new throttle position sensor and vacuum lines.

Your car appears pristine - great find! Congrats! I like that shade of white too - it's a bit warmer and nice to look at. :thumbup:

Also, a somewhat belated welcome to Carpokes!

Great lighting effects in that picture. It would be even greater if it was cropped to show more car and less concrete ;) Wheels look like BBS LM. I have similar 18" RS-GTs on my S2.
This is true. I always short wider for more crop range. Although didnt crop for this upload. You are correc. BBS LMs 18'' I like the RS Gts

Regarding a more generous crop, that was my first reaction too. But then I looked at it longer and realized that it was perfect the way it is - kind of a surreal look. It's a Jeff Zwart style image in many respects. Jeff would put a pic like that on the last page of Panorama! :angel:

I guess ideally, you'd use both versions - as-is as well as cropped.
Absolutey that. I shoot wide for more crop scenarios when needed.
