New Customisation Features for Bentley’s Continental GT & Convertible
Bentley expands customisation options for the Continental GT & Convertible, offering unique accents, bespoke colours, and luxurious finishes.
Bentley customers can now enjoy an even broader selection of exterior personalisation options for the fourth-generation Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible. Bentley’s bespoke and coachbuilding division, Mulliner, has expanded its range of exterior accent colours, enabling owners to showcase their style and attention to detail through carefully executed enhancements by Mulliner’s skilled artisans.

The accent colours available include pinstripes for body kits, door mirrors, and wheel designs in a variety of finishes. These include single tones, contrasting dual colours, and intricate pinstripes. Additionally, wheels can be chosen in either solid or metallic finishes, with options for satin or pearlescent textures.
These exterior accent colours can complement or contrast the car’s body finish and even reflect interior finishes or hide colours, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior colour schemes. For instance, the new dark chrome interior finish for the Continental GT can be paired with a matching exterior accent in dark grey. The Mulliner Personal Commissioning Guide offers a gateway to limitless possibilities, allowing customers to create their perfect vision.

With their sleek, muscular contours, the fourth-generation Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible inspire bold and personal colour specifications. Mulliner now offers a contrasting accent pinstripe for the aerodynamic body kit in either gloss or satin finishes. This fine detail runs along the edges of the front spoiler, sills, and rear diffuser, with the option to add a pinstripe on mirror caps and wheel rims.
Additionally, Mulliner presents a striking Beluga black roof finish for the new Continental GT. This dramatic option draws inspiration from the Pikes Peak limited edition, which celebrated the record-breaking ascent of Pikes Peak by a Continental GT in just 10 minutes and 18.4 seconds.
Similar to the Continental GT, the contrast accent pinstripe for the Flying Spur follows the lower edge of the body kit. Mulliner also offers a carbon fibre body kit, available either with the natural carbon fibre weave beneath a protective lacquer or in a custom finish of the owner’s choosing. This component can also feature a contrast accent pinstripe, while wheel rim and mirror cap pinstripes in matching accent colours complete the distinctive look.

For the Bentayga, contrast accent options include pinstripes on the mirror caps and wheel rims, as well as painted brake callipers in Klein Blue, Signal Yellow, or Ice Silver, replacing the standard black finish. The Bentayga’s optional carbon fibre body kit can also be specified with a contrast accent pinstripe for added flair.
As demand for greater individuality and distinction continues to grow, one in four Bentleys leaving the Crewe factory now feature Mulliner content.
"Our team of designers, engineers, and artisans strive to ensure that each customer’s tastes and personality are reflected in every detail, whether through exclusive paint and hide colours, materials, or bespoke features. The only limit is the imagination." - David Parker, Chief Commercial Officer at Mulliner

The choice of wheel finishes dramatically impacts the overall appearance of the vehicle. A single colour, perhaps matched to the body finish, creates a unified and sleek look. Alternatively, a metallic duotone with contrasting colours for the spokes and pockets adds sophistication and draws attention to the intricate design. A more subtle effect is achieved with pinstripes around the circumference of the wheel rim. Customers can select from painted wheels in solid, metallic, duotone, satin, or pearlescent finishes, or even commission a truly bespoke colour and finish from the entire paint range.

Accent colours play a crucial role in Mulliner’s bespoke creations. When fashion designer Supriya Lele collaborated with Mulliner’s designers to create a one-off Bentayga S, she introduced a unique colour called Nīla Blue, inspired by her Indian heritage. This bespoke hue, both subtle and distinctive, exudes the timeless elegance that defines her designs. The same colour was used as an accent on the wheel rims, while Mulliner White accentuated the body kit, complementing the restrained use of white piping inside.
Another exclusive creation, co-curated by Bentley Naples, was the first bespoke fourth-generation Continental GT Convertible from Mulliner. This one-off featured a striking Damson exterior paint with Moonbeam accents, perfectly complementing the White main hide, Damson secondary hide, and silver seat piping inside. This unique creation was auctioned at the Naples Winter Wine Festival and raised $1.7 million for at-risk and underprivileged children.
