A list of accessories is being offered for Bentley customers. Bentleys are already highly personalised but these new add-ons give them a fresh dimension so that each one is even more tailored. Among the pieces are new black mesh-finish vented wings located to the rear of the front wheel arches on the Bentley Continental GT and GTC. Chrome mesh versions should be available in 2010.

Bespoke child seats can be ordered with the child's name embroidered on the seat back beneath the Bentley wings. Self-levelling wheel badges with Bentley's B symbol that remain completely level and upright at speeds of up to 70mph (112km/h) can also be equipped. These are for the Arnage, the Azure, the Brooklands and the Continental models. In case the car needs to spend the night outdoors special branded covers to fit any Bentley are on the menu.

Last but not least is the Bentley Jewelled Torch.  Originally launched in 2004, the torch uses an LED beam which has the Bentley ‘B' now lasered into the lens. The new version of this compact torch can be recharged from the car's cigar lighter.

DESIGNED BY BENTLEY - EXCLUSIVELY FOR BENTLE

New range of Bentley-styled accessories

(11 November 2009. Crewe, England) Bentley Motors has launched a new collection of accessories highlighting the British company's design and craftsmanship skills. Whether purely functional or created to further accentuate and personalise the appearance of a customer's car, each accessory reflects the attention to detail at which Crewe's stylists and engineers excel.

One of the highlights of the new collection is the striking Vented Wings available for the Bentley Continental GT and GTC. Styled by Raul Pires, Bentley's head of exterior design, the sleek, vented wings further emphasize the Continental's sporting lines. Positioned to the rear of the front wheel arch, the vents are cut into a newly tooled wing panel and feature a black mesh finish. An alternative chrome mesh is currently under development and will be available in early 2010. This accessory will also be offered on Continental Flying Spur models.

The Bentley ethos of tailoring hand craftsmanship to customers' personal needs is now extended to the company's smallest enthusiasts. Customers may now commission a new selection of bespoke Child Seats with the hide colour matching that of their car's interior including, where appropriate, the same piping, fluting and hand-stitching. As a further option, a child's name may be embroidered on the seat back beneath the Bentley Wings.

Bentley's new Self-Levelling Wheel Badges offer Arnage, Azure, Brooklands and Continental customers the opportunity subtly to personalise their Bentley. The badges fit into the centre of the wheel and feature Bentley's classic ‘B' symbol surrounded by the ‘Bentley Motors' script and remain completely level and upright at speeds of up to 70mph (112 Km/h). Once the car comes to a halt the wheel badges will also automatically self-level.

Offering excellent indoor and outdoor protection (and tailored to specifically fit each model) Bentley's branded Car Covers are now available for the Continental Supersports and Series 51 GT and GTC models. The covers are branded with unique Supersports and Series 51 logos with the name of the model embroidered on the side. In addition, Bentley is now offering Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur customers the opportunity to personalise their indoor car covers with their own bespoke text - for example, a cherished registration number.

Originally launched in 2004, the Bentley Jewelled Torch has been a notable hit with Bentley drivers and enthusiasts of the marque. The lightweight torch retains its powerful LED spot beam but for an extra dash of style and practicality, the Bentley ‘B' is now lasered into the lens and Bentley's unique knurling has been added around the beam adjustment bezel. The new version of this compact torch is presented in a branded box and can be recharged from the car's cigar lighter.

In the very near future an infant with sh*t-stained diapers will be placed in a child seat upholstered in sumptuous red leather with a gray diamond-pattern alcantara insert. The child's name...

Antichrist.

Friends will call him A.C.

You can actually order the seat with a sewage pump and piping system. The "product" travels trough the seat and into a machine at the back of the car, where a computer uses sophisticated algorithms to create pieces of modern art. These sculptures will be available for purchase at a charity auction at the Pebble Beach Concours next year.
