Rolls Royce Phantom and a few other details-56k friendly

Scottwax · 03-01-04, 06:24

I used 3M's Final Glaze III (European version) and Clearkote's Carnauba Moose.

The car has some orange peel, which is unusual for a Rolls but otherwise the paint is flawless.

V-12
453 HP
531 lb-ft of torque
6 speed automatic
Suicide doors with 'soft touch' closing
Bi-level Xenon headlights
420 watt Lexicon Logic 7 audio system with 2 subs
$328,000 list.

Nice addition to the garage, eh? Also, notice how much larger the Rolls is than the Bentley and Lamborghini.

Suicide doors and notice the sheepskin floor mats!

Just after I first polished and waxed it.

Self portait-notice the light orange peel.

Very nice Rolls Phantom. I saw Allen Iverson a few months ago chilling with his boys in a black one just like that. About $375K I believe. That's a lot of cheese.

Whose is it? Did you get to drive it?

Detail looks great

, but it's just an awful looking car.

Who needs a RR and a Bentley?

Now that's big! Awesome job, and nice selection of products!

Nice job on the Rolls. How is the paint quality compared to the Bimmer 7-series?

I can’t believe BMW has the gall to put the Rolls-Royce badge on that rolling abomination. The Bentley in your pics is beautiful, the Rolls is…………eh, different.

It is better than the new 7 series, but not as good as the Bentley or Diablo since it does have some light orange peel. It is about as black as black can be though.

I agree the Bentley is a much better looking car, but the Rolls kind of grows on you...well, maybe not the front end...but it looks better in person. Still, I would much rather have the Bentley.

It belongs to a customer who owns 6 strip clubs, a tattoo parlor and is opening a hot rod and Harley themed restaurant. I got to move it around today, but that was about it. Similar to a new 7 Series BMW-put the key fob into the dash, step on the brake, push the start button then move the gear selector into D or R. push it in for park.

I guess if he can afford both...he sure stimilated the economy between the two to nearly $700,000! The Bentley is up for sale if any of y'all are interested.

You must have been sore as hell after that one.
