Spotted this evening, someone's replaced the Chrysler logo on their 300C with a Bentley "B".

Bet that impresses the neighbours! biglaugh

Just Googled it and found one on the web, looks like this...

It'll make you the "envy of passers bye" mind..! biggrin




Imagine yourself travelling in this extremely popular limousine and enjoying every moment, be the envy of all the passers bye. Taking


control of all the attention looks and make every second precious, make your presence feel like

Fit fake badge, hide with masking tape. confused
Curiously, the badge under the tape was a Superman logo. Go figure.



The Chrysler 300C badges were present and correct on the back of the car so I can't imagine they're trying to pass it off as a real Bentley, more hoping no one will look too closely and draw their own conclusions perhaps...

I've also had a look on their site, seems to be just Bentley's mentioned on there, as the name suggests.

My best guess is that perhaps they offer it to wedding couples as a way of transporting the bridesmaids more cheaply, but with 95% of the congregation assuming it's a second Bentley.

Does rather reek of "fake Rolex" though...

Depends: If it's a friends car they are borrowing for the day to save a little money because all they wanted was a large clean car for the bride to arrive in good condition, fair enough.

If it's a wedding hire firm then it's particularly horrid but not really any worse than five grand of ropey Silver Shadow badly sprayed white.
Judging by the way it was parked and the sign-age, I'm thinking it belonged to the wedding hire company. Don't know that for certain though.

I saw one of these parked up at Cribbs Causeway Asda a few months back, Bentley badged 300C- pretty sure in the back there was an advertisement for Bentley wedding hire too.
The photos above were taken at a hotel just outside Bristol, so quite likely the same company.
