I think it looks awesome, but then again, black and silver are one of my favourite combinations. (did I mention people call me a goth...). From a looks point of view, the car has that purposful, almost evil "stealth" exterior, however the inside looks Swedish with its fresh, pale shades and beech wood.

Its amazing how the same car in Racing Green and cream leather would be considered upper-class and stately, yet chuck on some black and chrome and you have an almost "ganster looking" car. I guess the 630hp isn't too bad either ;-)

So yeah, it has my vote.

Too fussy/chavvy/blingy, ditch the brightwork below the bumperline and those awfull front fogs, swop the chrome alloys for anthracite or matt black, then you've got a stealthier look. Are there any other mods? or is it just for those with (to quote derestrictor) too much wedge and absolutely no idea. I think this sort of thing works well on a Mercedes, can work out OK on a BMW, but with this brand, the juxtaposition of ideas doesnt really work, least of all on the Spur.

Hey! One's mans meat etc. However, I do prefer the line of the GT but then I'm biased!

The idea behind the changes is to give an even more individual take on the Flying Spur (and Continental GT) than that available through Bentley's own Mulliner bespoke programme.


Individual should mean you can choose as you like . . . So if you want to skip the foglights, you should. I think it looks pretty powerfull.

Awesome but the Bling factor needs to be turned down.

I quite like the grills beneath the radiator. The fog lights INMHO should be moved towards the outer side of the car. Anyone any good with photoshop? From the photo looks like mirror wheels. Not to sure about this. Mirrored wheels look good on cars in the USA (Florida) but back in the UK I'm not sure and they do mark easily. Perhaps it's something to do with the climate?

I was about to set off from home for the sprint meeting, and my wife had left all these dayglo A4 sheets on the table (teacher) so I put them on the car to brighten it up a bit on the track. High class motorway maintenance
