Gray and pointy. What year be your Westy? I bet we'll find that the early ones with the tan and brown interior have white half-sphere bumpers, the later ones with the gray and blue interiors have gray Hershey's Kisses-shaped bumpers. Or maybe yours started life as half-spheres and heat has drawn them into the pointy shape. Mine are the ne plus ultra of melty bumpers and they are certainly pointed. Others of the same vintage which have not been heated appear to be spherical. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Westrailia: (Ladybug Trailer company, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.)
