Bentley Continental GT GTC Flying Spur Black Left Center Grille Insert 3W0853683A / 3W0853683C (aftermarket)

This listing is for the left center grille insert ONLY (driver side). The Bentley grille system typically consists of multiple separate insert pieces: left, center, and right sections, each sold individually with different part numbers. If you need to replace multiple inserts, you must purchase each section separately: Left insert - 3W0853683A/3W0853683C (this listing), Right insert - 3W0853684A/3W0853684C (different part number), Center insert - separate part number (if applicable to your model). Before ordering, carefully assess which specific insert(s) are damaged. In many cases of stone chip damage or localized impact, only one or two inserts may need replacement, making individual purchase more cost-effective. However, if you're doing a complete chrome-to-black conversion or comprehensive restoration, you may need to order all grille insert sections to achieve a complete, cohesive appearance.

This is a high-quality aftermarket OE (Original Equipment) replacement manufactured to match OEM specifications, NOT a genuine Bentley factory part. Quality Comparison: Materials - both use impact-resistant ABS plastic with professional black coating; Fitment - aftermarket is engineered to exact OEM dimensions and mounting points for first-generation models; Appearance - gloss black finish designed to match factory appearance; Durability - quality aftermarket parts use similar UV-resistant coatings and fade-resistant formulations. Main Differences: (1) Price - aftermarket is typically 40-60% less expensive than dealership parts, (2) Branding - no Bentley logos or factory stamps, (3) Manufacturer - produced by certified third-party suppliers rather than Bentley's contracted manufacturers. For most applications, quality aftermarket grille inserts are visually and functionally indistinguishable from OEM once installed. Many professional body shops, Bentley specialists, and enthusiasts use aftermarket parts for repairs and modifications because they offer excellent value without compromising appearance, quality, or longevity. The key is choosing quality aftermarket suppliers, which this product represents.

Answer: Yes, you can use this black insert even if your car currently has chrome, but the results and recommendations depend on your goal: For Individual Replacement (stone chip repair): If only one insert is damaged and you're replacing it for functional reasons, installing a single black insert among chrome ones will create a mismatched appearance that's quite noticeable. This is generally NOT recommended unless it's a temporary fix. For Complete Conversion (chrome to black customization): If you're intentionally converting from chrome to black for a sportier, more aggressive appearance, you'll need to replace ALL visible grille inserts (left, center, and right sections) to achieve a cohesive, professional look. Mixing chrome and black creates an unfinished appearance. Best Practices: (1) For damage repair with chrome grilles, order chrome replacement inserts to match, (2) For black conversion, order complete set of black inserts for all positions, (3) Consider replacing both left and right sides at minimum for symmetry, (4) Budget for complete conversion if changing finishes. Many owners successfully convert to black inserts for a contemporary, performance-oriented aesthetic, but it requires replacing all visible sections for proper results.
