If you are interested in a quality mesh grille for your Bentley, I had a few spares made when I fitted one to my Continental R.

The one on my Turbo R is an original genuine factory order similar to that of a a Bentley Eight but it is rather inferior to the ones I have now commissioned. I have some mesh left for two cars after fitting one to my Continental R. It is quality woven stainless steel mesh, not the nasty laser-cut honeycomb types fitted to late Contis and Arnages nor the horrors on the GTs and Flying Spurs.

RT.

Conti before trashing its vanes, next to Turbo R in my garage for comparison purposes; mesh on Conti close-up.

Hi Richard, your time at Unanderra many years ago still provides benefits you probably never expected .

Looks like a classic hand-made grille rather than a mass-produced replica IMHO.

Here is a challenge Richard.
I really like the mesh grill you have commissioned and I have the same two cars as you. One small issue though. The distance between us. Any ideas how to get the two meshs out to Dubai? And if so, how much the overall costs will be?
Thanks
Omar

Now, Omar, we shall find a way. I may even transit Dubai in a few weeks.

Pity this picture is in the drizzle this morning at my coffee shop. There is at least a choice in wheels, grilles and number plates here.

!!!!********!!!!! Washed it just 300km ago in Canberra. Any other opinions about the 7-spokers vs 5-spokers ? The mesh grille has to be the go though.

I have one left, but am trying to work out how to send it to Omar. I owe him a few favours already, and am hoping to find time to stopover on a trip to London in the near future to drop it off. I could easily start a run of a few more three at a time given the minimum order size for the mesh. Let me know by private message.

Dear James,
I will gladly meet you in Abu Dhabi!! just say when.
Also, seriously, I am starting to feel a real family buzz in this forum - such a lot of fantatsic people.
I have mesaged Richard and we are working out a way to make the grill land on my Dubai based Conti R sometime soon.
If that happens............... a photo will be placed on this thread.
Thanks fellas.
Omar

I'm working on a kit so that they may be installed very easily. There are at least two sizes, and I don't know if the late Bentleys have the same grille as the Continental R-S-T.

If there is enough interest I shall make up half a dozen as the one left is for Dubai.
