Bentley Continental GT GTC Left Front Bumper Grill Chrome 3W3807683 (aftermarket)

This bumper grille fits third-generation Bentley Continental GT and GTC models (2018-2024) with 3W chassis code, including V8, W12, Speed, Azure, and S variants. NOT compatible with: Second-generation (2011-2018) or first-generation (2003-2010) Continental models, which have completely different bumper designs. CRITICAL: This is LEFT SIDE ONLY (driver side)—it will NOT fit the right (passenger) side. Bumper grilles are side-specific with unique mounting configurations. If you need both sides or only the right side, order the corresponding right side part separately (different part number). Important considerations: Bentley made design updates during third-gen production, particularly with the 2021+ facelift—verify fitment using your VIN. This chrome finish grille is appropriate for Continental models with standard chrome exterior trim. If your vehicle has Blackline Specification (black trim), carbon fiber packages, or custom styling, you need a different finish (black grilles available separately). Special editions, Mulliner options, or unique configurations may have different grille designs—always confirm compatibility before ordering.

This installation is moderately DIY-friendly for experienced automotive enthusiasts but professional installation is recommended for optimal results. Here's the reality: Installation complexity: Takes 45-90 minutes and requires removing the front wheel for proper access, using specialized trim tools to remove the old grille without scratching Continental's expensive paint (£3,000+ per panel to refinish), aligning the new grille precisely with adjacent components, and ensuring all mounting clips engage fully. DIY considerations: You'll need trim removal tools, socket set, clean microfiber gloves (chrome shows fingerprints), patience for precise alignment, and experience working on luxury vehicles. The physical removal/installation isn't extremely difficult, but alignment is critical—uneven gaps or misalignment are immediately visible on a £150,000+ grand tourer and detract from the luxury appearance. Professional advantages: Bentley specialists or high-end body shops have Continental-specific experience, proper soft tools to prevent paint damage, skills to achieve perfect alignment matching factory standards, and insurance coverage for any potential issues. Installation typically costs £100-200 professionally. Recommendation: If you're comfortable with automotive trim work and have appropriate tools, DIY is possible—but work slowly and carefully. If you're uncertain or want guaranteed showroom results, invest in professional installation. Many owners choose to have this installed during other service work to save a separate trip.

Front bumper grilles are exposed to extreme conditions including high-speed airflow, road debris, temperature fluctuations, and environmental contaminants. Chrome components are particularly vulnerable to degradation. Common replacement reasons include:
✓ Chrome Deterioration - Pitting, corrosion, or oxidation from road salt and moisture exposure
✓ Impact Damage - Stone chips, cracks, or breaks from road debris at highway speeds
✓ Peeling or Flaking - Chrome finish degradation exposing base material
✓ Discoloration - Yellowing, clouding, or loss of brilliant mirror finish
✓ Collision Repair - Damage from parking incidents or front-end impacts
✓ Cosmetic Restoration - Refreshing aged components to maintain luxury appearance
✓ Cost-Effective Alternative - Premium quality without OEM premium pricing
