I like the brushed hood on the DropHead because the cars lines suites it much more, the BGT is too round.

Not a fan of it on the Drophead either - but what I am a massive fan of is the blacked out headlight housings. I've always wondered how difficult it is to do that on a non-Supersports Conti.

I've taken apart my fair share of VAG headlights over the years, and they are nearly impossible to open up!

I dont think the blacked headlight housing is hard, I havent seen it done on a BGT but I've done it on my car.

Do you guys that do not like it on this like it on the Drophead?
Drophead looks ok, but that's the whole hood. This looks like what it is....a big sticker on the hood of a beautiful car.

They were a liitle bit of a bitch. Bentley uses a glue similar to the 2010 Range Rover, the RR 06-09 were a piece of cake but the 2010+ is a hard glue and you have to really work the housing to get them open. The painter told me they took him around 2 hours to get apart.

Congratulations, you completely riced out that poor CGT.

Mulliner wheels and blacked out headlight housings was all it needed.

I would have wrapped the roof and the top of the rear deck-lid and side mirrors with the vinyl as well, it would not look so awkward, and would look a lot classier IMO

my opinion is that the stock car is usually the best way to go...

id be happy to drive that car, however, i would just remove the wrap!

All that matters is that you like it.

If it was me i wouldn't have done the hood like that.
