Part Number: 36A071609 (also seen as 36A071609A)

The 36A071609 is the authentic Front Carbon Fiber Splitter for the First Generation Bentley Bentayga (2016–2020). This component is a core element of the “Bentayga Styling Specification,” designed to lower the visual center of gravity while optimizing aerodynamic downforce at the front axle.

Product Specifications

• Compatibility: Bentley Bentayga (Pre-facelift models, 2016–2020).

• Material: Genuine 2×2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber.

• Finish: High-Gloss Clear Coat (UV-resistant to prevent yellowing).

• Placement: Bottom edge of the front bumper.

Key Features & Design

• Mirror-Matched Symmetry: Bentley’s carbon components are “mirror-matched.” The weave pattern is perfectly symmetrical from the center line, echoing the meticulous craftsmanship of the interior wood veneers.

• Aerodynamic Performance: Unlike cosmetic-only “lips,” this splitter is wind-tunnel tested to reduce front-end lift and improve high-speed stability.

• OEM Integration: The splitter features internal ducting and recesses to ensure it does not interfere with the Park Distance Control (PDC) sensors or the lower intake airflow for the radiators.

Installation & Maintenance

• Hardware: Installation typically requires a combination of factory-drilled mounting screws and high-strength automotive adhesive (like Betalink K1).

• Professional Fitment: Due to the precise nature of the carbon fiber and the value of the part, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure the “shut lines” between the splitter and the bumper are flawless.

• Protection: Because this part sits very low to the ground, many owners apply a Paint Protection Film (PPF) or a “Sliplo” scrape guard to the underside to prevent damage from speed bumps and steep driveways.

Verification Tip

There are many aftermarket “Carbon Look” or fiberglass replicas available for the Bentayga. A genuine Bentley part will have the 36A071609 part number and the Bentley “B” logo embossed or labeled on the unexposed (back) side of the component.
