Bentley Continental 2006 Project

Hi Guys,

here a bit of my Project. I’ve bought a crashed 2006 Bentley Continental with 60’000 km. The Condition of the interior and all the mechanical stuff was quite good. Just the exterior was looking bad. Sadly I didn’t took any Pictures.

What I’ve already done:
- Installed a new bodykit
- new 21” original Bentley Rims
- Changed the Back and Mirror lights to LED
- Colored the Bentley Logo all black
- tinted the backlights
- tinted the Windows
- Installed a Touchscreen with Bluetooth and Android

What will follow:
- color the Rims Black
- Install a Spoiler
- Upgrade the Front lights ??
- Install Air intakes (front)
- Install Spoiler
- Wrap the Car
- Performance tuning
- Install right size exhaust Tips
- Install a front and back Camera
- Change the Frontglas
- Remove the Muffler

I will update you here and post some pictures of the Process.
Luckily i live in Ukraine and I can do whatever I want on the car.

Body kit looks good! Makes quite a new statement on the front end. These are the kind of projects I like. I am following your progress with interest!

Where did you source your LED’s from?

Here some more Pictures. Today I’ve started to prepare the rims and Spoiler for Coloring. Attached you can find a couple Pictures of my last “build“ Maserati QP 2006 straightpiped.

Very nice! Love the matte finish on the Maserati. Is it a wrap? Or is it paint?

Black wheels will look very nice on the black Bentley.

I put these on my GT. I also did all of the stainless steel body trim in matte black:



Actually a better pic with B center caps.

What a beauty!

It’s a wrap on the Maserati, but they did a quite bad Job. I think this summer I will color the Maserati in Army Green and do some Modification on the Body.

I will also wrap all this Steel Details. Not sure if i should wrap the car Matt Black and make it all black, in general I’m not really a fan of Matt black. But i think it could look good. Or Probably I keep the color and add some Red Details. Really not sure at the moment.

I’ve found on the Local Car Market some Plug and Play LED Chips. I’ve just disconnected the old ones

Black with red details could look really good. Here is a pic of one of my favorite black cars with a color offset:



On the Maserati - If you're talking about real army green, a member in a Corvette club in which I belong really went "army" on his Grand Sport.

.

Yeah that was the idea. Exactly like this Bentley.
A bit like the corvette but not Matt, but it’s just an idea.

from the UK, I can PM you the contact. I’m really untalented in taking Pictures, but I‘ve tried to take a bit better ones.
