Time to part ways with the Benz-------->new project Bentley

I was a fun journey but its time to let her go. It was my favorite car to mod since it already looked great stock.

My new project is a 2005 Bentley Continental GT, silver tempest exterior and hotspur interior. Low miles, well maintained.

I'll be around to post some pics during this project.

Cheers!

Sweet ride. Is it an actual mulliner or does it just have the wheels? I have a lot of spare parts for these If there is anything you are looking for. I even have an extra set of mulliner wheels if you need one or more down the road.

^ 6.0 TT W12 is a beast. All you need to do is slam it on some wheels and tints and you're in business.

Never thought I'd say this, but that Bentley interior just looks brutal to me. No doubt it's a NICE car, but wow..that color combo and light wood. Different strokes I suppose. Looking forward to seeing it modded though!

Suprisingly not at much as one would expect. Remember the car shares a ton of Audi running gear. The GTs are great cars and truly bargains as of recent. My neighbor had one with a tune and exhaust and it was truly amazing how that thing would pull in a straight line

Congrats on the new wheels! That's the next car I plan to build as well. If your E is any indicator, that Bentley is in for a treat since you hit the style nail on the head on the last one.

Bentley seems like the preferred marque after an AMG. Congrats on the new "gentleman's and driver's" purchase.

Don't those things weigh over 6000lbs?

I remember seeing a video of a modded Bentley vs a pulley/tune E55 and it wasn't even fair.

The E55 blew the Bentley away..

good point but the lights are indicating Door is open, gas is low and rear spoiler was manually raised.

While this is true, you need to have the audi part number.

There are no sites like oediscountparts.com/parts.com for bentley, i've looked.

If you need a bentley specific part, your options are somewhat limited and it can take a while to get.
