Naim for Bentley

Its a great car, and as you say it also looks good!

I did compare the Naim system to the standard system, and in a nutshell there is no comparison! Sound is fantastic and the Bass and Treble are infinitely adjustable.

There are so many different settings you can utilise, that you should settle on a few and stick to them.

I include a photograph of the subwoofer in the boot, work of art!

Seductive is the word they use for the interior, which is pretty spot on.

My own words for the exterior colour is deeply discreet (as it is the granite colour) It has 7 coats of top coat paint, then the clear, it is just a wonderful finish.

Hi, My Bentley dealership is 3 km from my door, and I haven't had any issue with them, they are very good.

...you are very fortunate...I should be so lucky....it is 2:15am Monday here in San Francisco...due to service situation here, I am in process of removing and replacing the main battery...(the main is the left one, the right smaller one is starter battery) due to tight garage situation here in SF I did not trickle charge ever, the car started zero problem for 5 years even with little use...then last week, no go...dead main...live and learn JimB
