 bumpers.  I am aware that the Carat line had silver bumpers.  But, what
 about the plain Wolfsburg.  Did they just get the black rubber bumpers?
  I have seen two '87 Wolfies.  One has black bumpers, the other has
 silver bumpers.  They both have rear facing seats andfold up table.
 Help me out, did somebody paint their bumpers, or is one have the carat
 package, and they just don't know it?
    Also, are the black bumpers paintable?  Any light shed on the
 subject would be helpful.

the bumpers ain't rubber, theyre fiberglass, and you can paint them any color
you want.  All '87 up Wolfys had the fiberglass bumpers, and all '88 up GL
vans and carats had them too. in '88 and '89, the GL's bumpers came black.
'90-'91 they were painted silver or body color.
