Bentley Continental GT Chromed Lower Grilles

Dress Up Your Bentley Continental GT or Flying Spur!

The smallest final adornment can often make a huge difference, especially when you are talking about Bentley's incredible new Continental GT or The Flying Spur.

Newly available, you can now add these chromed OEM lower grills to any 2004, 2005 or 2006 Bentley Continental GT or new 2006 Flying Spur.

These are not aftermarket or "knock-off" grilles. These are the original equipment OEM parts, manufactured by Bentley, that have been put through the same exacting vacuum metallizing process that Bentley uses for the Continental GT and Flying Spur's stock main grill.

I've found in doing my own car that other aftermarket products often don't fit well and can present a significant challenge to install. In some instances you actually have to remove the front bumper in order to install the lower grilles. In all cases they are prohibitively expensive and don't truly mimic the intricate weave pattern of the originals.

These grilles are a breeze to install. They snap place easily in just a matter of minutes. The only tool required is a screwdriver to loosen or tighten a single screw for each grill. They make a remarkable difference in the look of the car. They are fully metallized with the same chrome finish coating that is found elsewhere on the vehicle, so the look is seamless and integrated.

I sell them as a three piece set for $999 — a significant discount from the $1,295 other after market resellers are charging or the $1895 that some Bentley dealers are asking. I also offer a core exchange discount of $200, bringing your price down to $799!

• Chrome Lower Grills, Sold as a Set of 3
• Fits 2004-2006 Continental GT
• Also Available for 2006 Flying Spur
• Genuine OEM Bentley Parts
• Same Vacuum Metalizing Process Used by Bentley
• Chrome Finish Matches Main Bentley Grill
• Same Intricate Weave Pattern as The Main Grill
• Installs Easily in Just Minutes
• Stock Fitment, Identical to your Existing Lower Grills
• Priced Well Below Other Aftermarket Suppliers and Dealers
• Save an additional $200 with Advance Core Exchange
• Current Bentley Owners Can Save an Additional $200!

For existing owners, I offer an advance core exchange credit of $200 if you supply me with your existing grilles in premium condition. If interested, PM me.

It's not a paint process. It's called vacuum metalizing and actually creates a hardened chromed coating over the existing polyeurathane parts. I have them on my Bentley and they truly make a big difference in the appearance of the car. This is a process I have used extensively on various hot rod and motorcycle projects and had great success. Short of machining brand new aftermarket parts from scratch, it's the best way to go. And while the pricing might seem high to you, it's lower than what others are selling them for, and far less than what dealers are charging.

I fully understand your observation of the commercial nature of my post. I'm in the advertising field so it comes naturally, I guess. As for pics of the car, that's actually how I found this site... Someone ELSE had pulled pics off of another discussion site I visit (where I'd passed every acid koolaid ownership test they threw at me) and I found other people talking about MY car! At any rate, there are plenty of pics in the Bentley Continental area.

After many thousands of views and lots of compliments on the look of the car, it became evident there was a need for these grills. That's how this process started. I fell into it. I personally paid $1500 for my grills and they are not as good as the ones I'm now selling. I saw a real need for CGT owners... I'm not out just trying to make a quick buck.

Here's a couple of pics, as requested. For others, check out

Why the hell would anyone in their right mind want to put chrome grills on a Carrera GT?

Thankfully, CGT owners are not blinged out rappers who wear grills, teeth or cars.

They wouldn't. But Bentley Continental GT owners —rappers and non-rappers alike— seem to be pleased with the look for this particular car.

its different then wire mesh. its not mesh at all. its the plastic.


verone. go look at a cont GT and look at the way the plastic moves.. they USED to use real woven metal grilles but now the resort to plastic.. but what can u ask for when the car is amazing and only 160k

not dissing CGT's at all i love em.. just VW went a lil too far w/ the plasticising.

I was told by my Bentley technician that they actually went with the plastic rather than metal to conform to governmental safety requirements.
