Bentley Arnage R

[benpocock]

I was expecting this to take well over a day but as it was in good shape (hence no before shots) I managed to do it all in a day. Don`t get me wrong though, this thing is HUGE and had there been the need for paint correction I`d definitely still be there today!



The shots aren`t great for the same reason as the Turbo shots weren`t - too much shade and too many cars in the way to position it nicely.

I also did the interior and I kid you not everything was covered in leather - the headlining, the ash tray lids, even the inside of the door pockets was leather!

Awesome car, great job Ben, I bet that front grill was so much fun! :)

[Brazo]

Great car Ben, looks fantastic, Can`t believe all that opulence and the key looks the same as on my old golf!

[Accumulator]

Nice job, thanks for sharing it with us. Bet the grill took a little while, that`s a *lot* of slots.

[ncwlau]

lookin good, i think SRP/EGP gives a nice look

[Alex Creasey]

[Beason]

To be honest, yes it is - but we can`t be perfect all the time eh? :xyxthumbs

[SilverLexus]

Terrific work Ben. Is that Becks car? :)



I love the Bentleys but I am sad that they switched to a plastic grill. I liked the thought of some old world craftsman using real wire, especially at this price range...

Beautiful car and detail, Ben! Bentleys and Rolls have such great paint and high quality interiors and normally don`t get very dirty so cleaning them is actually pretty enjoyable. Definitely right on about the interior, filled with dead cow. ;)

[hirosh]

wow, awesome. i was stunned by that first photo, the silver looks sweet! :2thumbs:

[zainoshine]

Wow!!! What a neat car and detail; and a brand new one, at that, eh? The headlights were new for 2005?
