Like Porsche, Bentley has an almost infinite list of customization options. This particular fleet car belongs to HQ (in the UK) and came fully loaded with a gorgeous mix of opulent leather and dry carbonfiber.

As for the aluminum trim; looks great, feels great, but if you look carefully at my last picture, doesn't work too well in our local climate. That condensation is an ungainly sight for something that wears these feathers.
The car itself drives brilliantly. Agile through bends given its size and weight (although I doubt few owners would exploit it the way I did - its always nice to know the hardware is capable!), with the steel brakes biting hard and strong. As a driver's car, I'd still take a Panamera over the Continental any time but as a boulevard cruiser, few can match the image, prestige and whimsical air of a Bentley.
