Bentley GT Hood Grill 2003-2011 3W0010389P

Based on the part number provided, there is a common misunderstanding to address. While 3W0010389P is frequently associated with the “hood” area for the Bentley Continental GT and GTC (2003–2011), it is actually a vehicle data plate (sticker) rather than a metal or plastic mesh grille.

3. Maintenance & Installation Notes

• Data Plate (3W0010389P): If you are restoring a vehicle and need a new plate, these are often “to order” parts from Bentley because they contain VIN-specific information.

• Exterior Grille (3W0853651):

  • The “Flying B” Mechanism: The hood grille on this generation of Bentley is integrated with the latch mechanism. If the grille is loose, check the security of the mounting bolts behind the chrome surround, as they can vibrate loose over time.

  • Cleaning: To avoid pitting on the chrome matrix, it is recommended to use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft detailing brush to reach inside the mesh pattern.
