Genuine Bentley Bentayga Front Bumper & Radiator Grilles (36A Series)

The 36A part prefix identifies components specifically for the First Generation Bentley Bentayga (2016–2020). The “grill grid” or matrix for this model is a modular system consisting of the main upper radiator grille and several lower bumper mesh inserts.

Main Radiator Grille Assemblies

The central grille typically consists of a frame (shell) and the inner matrix grids.

• Upper Grille Matrix (Left): 36A853683

• Upper Grille Matrix (Right): 36A853684

• Grille Frame/Cover: 36A853653

• Bentley Wings Emblem: 36A853684D

Lower Bumper Grilles & Mesh Inserts

The lower section of the bumper contains several “grid” inserts that vary based on your vehicle’s features, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Night Vision.

Key Fitment Variations

When ordering 36A grilles, the suffix letters are critical to matching your car’s specific “Specification”:

• Standard / Mulliner: Usually ends in F or A (Bright Chrome).

• Blackline Specification: Usually ends in B or L (High Gloss Beluga Black).

• Tech Requirements: If your car has Night Vision, the lower left grille (36A807647) requires a specific revision with a cutout for the infrared camera.

Common Issues & Maintenance

• Road Debris Damage: The matrix “grid” design is susceptible to stone chips which can dent the metal mesh or crack the plastic variants.

• Sensor Obstruction: Ensure the grid is free of wax buildup or debris, as this can trigger “Sensor Blocked” errors for the ACC and PDC systems.

• Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle detailing brush to clean the “grid” cells; avoid high-pressure washers at close range, which can bend the delicate matrix fins.
