Just started restoring my 1968 westfalia Clipper.
The bus is Elm Green the rear bumper is missing, the front bumper is greyish.
Inside the bus i found an old brochure, and looking at the pictures it looks like the rear bumper should be white. Do anyone know if it was gray bumper front and white at the rear?
The wheels looks white with gray hup caps.
Is there any chance that one of you have information regarding color codes on hup caps and bumpers?
(I know my front panel is wrong. Will be sorted)
Best regards Otto
















 
Wheels should be Cloud White (L581), although some Deluxe models had Black (L41) wheels.
Bumpers were Cloud White as well until 1971MY on when they were painted Pastel White (L90D).
Hub caps were painted Grey Silver (L70X) as standard, but chrome hubcaps were available on standard Microbus, Deluxe Microbus and Ambulances. Also available as an optional extra (M181).
The front badge was also Cloud White until 1971MY as well, a chrome badge was an optional extra (M181 or M521) and fitted as standard to Deluxe models.
