Description
Restore the aggressive "Black Edition" aesthetic of your Bentley V8 with this Genuine OEM Complete Front Grill Assembly. Unlike the standard W12 models, the V8 variant is defined by its black matrix mesh, providing a sportier, high-contrast look against the chrome surround.
This complete assembly is comprised of the following 4 Genuine Bentley parts:
-
Main Grill Frame: 3W3853651C
-
Outer Chrome Trim: 3W3853667A
-
Left Black Matrix Mesh: 3W3853683A
-
Right Black Matrix Mesh: 3W3853684A
Technical Specifications & Fitment:
-
Compatibility: 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Bentley Continental GT & GTC (V8 Models).
-
Finish: High-Gloss Black Matrix Inserts with Mirror-Finish Chrome Surround.
-
Installation: Direct factory replacement for damaged or pitted front-end components.
The V8 Distinction: The 4.0L V8 models require these specific black mesh inserts to maintain original factory specifications. Using Genuine Bentley components ensures that the specialized airflow requirements for the V8 twin-turbo cooling system are met, while the high-grade chrome trim (3W3853667A) provides superior resistance to road salt and stone chipping compared to aftermarket replicas.
Technical Integration Tip
When assembling these four components, pay close attention to the Left (3W3853683A) and Right (3W3853684A) Black Mesh clips. These are designed to "snap-lock" into the Main Frame (3W3853651C). We recommend assembling the frame, trim, and mesh on a soft bench before mounting the entire unit to the bumper. This ensures all four parts are perfectly flush. Because the V8 bumper has unique ducting for the intercoolers, ensure the black mesh is seated fully to prevent whistling at highway speeds—a common issue when these specific 4-part assemblies are not aligned to factory tolerances.
