2008 CGT Face lift

The continental GT is supposedly getting a minor facelift for 2008, as well as a new "power" upgrade to 620 or so hp.

Anybody have pics of the facelift? The only ones I found were the snow road spy shots at a gas station, which don't really show the car.

Thanks jgraham. Doesn't really do much to me....Mulliner package CGT looks much better. Have you got any issues with tyre pressure sensors going off?

My dealer tells me its a manufacturer's defect thats on all GTs and FS's and should be ignored!!!

No problems with tire pressure sensors, only problem with tire valve stems being made with cheap soft metal!

So these valve stems are leaking air?! That might be the problem, because whenever I fill up the tyres with air, both cars seem fine, then with driving and time warning lights go off again, and its really annoying.

Another annoying thing is the AC that always turns on whenever you start the car...again dealer says this is standard on all Bs.

The valve stems are not leaking. I took off the plastic valve caps to replace them with the Bentley aftermarket chrome ones with the B on them. When installing they were very tight to go on, service manager says it is just paint! When removing them, with a wrench, to check air pressure it broke the valve stem off. They replaced it but now I noticed another one is having a stripping problem. The valve is made with some kind of cheap soft metal, in trying to get the broken part out of the cap with a removal tool the metal just shaves off, it is too soft. Will contact the service manager on Monday to see if there is replacement valve stems in chrome plated steel. That will solve the problem.
