Bentley Accident Repair in Manchester
At Bodyshop Manchester, we've been repairing Bentleys for over 15 years. After many years of working on Bentleys we can confidently say that these can be some of the most difficult cars to paint correctly.
Over many years of perfecting our standards we've learned that repairing a Bentley properly isn't simply a case of repainting a panel but a case of understanding the specific paint systems used by Bentley at factory, the colour of the base coat used on each model and applying the same standards that Bentley apply on their repairs.
The type of primer used, the mix and build of the paint layers, the depth of colour, and the specification of the clear coat all make a massive difference. Getting that combination right is not something you learn from a manual or just a case of getting a colour code, it's perfected over years of working on high-end Bentleys and understanding how to return them to their original factory standard.
From Continental GTs and Flying Spurs to Bentayga and classic models, we know what it takes to achieve the correct finish, not just close, but perfect.
Bentley Carbon Fibre Repair
Over the years, we have repaired numerous Bentley carbon fibre side trims, front splitters and rear spoilers that owners were told were beyond repair and in some cases with replacement parts on lengthy back order from Bentley. In most of these situations, we have been able to restore the original component to its factory finish, saving both time and unnecessary replacement.
Carbon fibre trim and panels on Bentley models require a very different approach to repair. When damaged, the process involves carefully sanding the surface back to expose the original carbon fibre weave, without disturbing or thinning the weave itself. This stage is critical—sand too far and the weave is permanently damaged, meaning the component can no longer be restored. Too light, and the repair will not bond correctly.
Once the carbon is properly exposed, multiple layers of specialist carbon fibre epoxy are applied to rebuild the surface to its original depth and clarity. Each layer must be laid and cured in a controlled environment to avoid air pockets or contamination. If the curing process is not managed correctly, air bubbles can form within the epoxy, something that becomes highly visible once the final clear coat is applied.
Only once the surface has been rebuilt and levelled correctly do we apply the appropriate high-quality clear coat to restore the deep, gloss finish Bentley carbon fibre is known for. This is precision work, and it must be carried out by an experienced team. Done incorrectly, carbon fibre can quickly become unusable. Done properly, it can be restored seamlessly, which is exactly what we do.
Bentley Full Car Respray
At our Bentley bodyshop in Manchester, we carry out full vehicle resprays using the same paint and mix as in the Bentley factory. We also carry out the work in controlled spray booth environments to achieve a uniform finish across every panel.
Bentley Same Colour Full Respray
A same colour Bentley respray is normally carried out when the existing paint has deteriorated or when the car has accumulated numerous chips, scratches or faded areas over time.
To achieve a proper result, we don't cut corners and we carefully remove exterior components such as trims, lights, badges, handles and mouldings so that the panels can be refinished without visible masking edges. The bodywork is then prepared and corrected where necessary before the paint process begins. Once prepared, the panels are refinished using the correct primer, basecoat and clear coat system. This restores the original colour and ensures a deep, consistent finish across the entire vehicle.
Bentley Colour Change Full Respray
A Bentley colour change respray is a more extensive project which needs to be done by an experienced and professional team such as ours at Bodyshop Manchester as the vehicle must be painted in its entirety so that the new colour appears consistent throughout.
To do this correctly, a large number of exterior components are removed from the vehicle. This typically includes bumpers, bonnet, boot lid, doors, trims, handles, mirrors and the glass, including glass seals. Removing these components allows the new colour to be applied properly across areas that would otherwise remain visible when the vehicle is reassembled.
The bodywork is then thoroughly prepared, followed by full priming, several coats of colour and a high-quality clear coat. Once the paint has cured, the vehicle is carefully reassembled and all exterior components are refitted. Whether you are restoring the original colour of your Bentley or choosing a completely new one, the most important factor is that the work is carried out correctly. For owners who want their Bentley respray completed to a high standard, our team in Manchester has the experience and equipment to carry out the work properly.
Bentley Bodykit Installation
At Bodyshop Manchester, we supply and install Bentley bodykits for a wide range of models, including:
- Bentley Continental GT Mk1 (2003–2011)
- Bentley Continental GT Mk2 (2011–2018)
- Bentley Continental GT Mk3 (2018 onwards)
- Continental GT facelift models
- Bentley Bentayga (2016–2020 pre-facelift)
- Bentley Bentayga facelift (2020 onwards)
- Bentayga V8, W12 and Speed variants
All bodykit installations are done by our highly experienced team who are trained and have the experience required to install them with the precision and care that a Bentley requires to ensure a high-end and high-quality finish. Bentley panel tolerances are extremely refined, and any additional components must integrate seamlessly with the factory body lines, shut gaps and paint finish.
We offer body styling kits from our own in-house range, as well as supplying and fitting recognised aftermarket brands such as Urban, Onyx and Brabus kits for clients looking for a more distinctive finish. All kits are supplied in primer and are then professionally prepared and painted in whichever colour you require, whether that's a precise match to the original factory paintwork or a bespoke finish. If preferred, components can also be professionally wrapped instead of painted.
In addition, we supply and install carbon fibre trims for Continental GT and Bentayga models, including splitters, side skirts, rear diffusers and spoilers. For added durability, we can apply high-quality Paint Protection Film (PPF) to carbon fibre and newly painted panels to protect against stone chips and road wear.
Every bodykit that we offer has been tested thoroughly ensuring that when installed panels are aligned. When installed these are adjusted and secured properly to ensure correct spacing, structural stability and a factory-level finish. At Bodyshop Manchester we fit Bentley bodykits to a very high standard. Every time the finished vehicle looks like the body kit was installed from factory, exactly as it should on a car of this calibre.
Bentley PPF & Bentley Vinyl Wrapping
If you have bought a new Bentley, you will still remember the shine and finish of the paintwork when the car was delivered. However, if you want to retain that finish, protecting it properly is just as important as repairing it correctly. At Bodyshop Manchester, we provide specialist Bentley Paint Protection Film installation, along with professional Bentley vinyl wrapping services. Furthermore, we only use very high quality Paint Protection Film which will not damage the paint if it is ever removed.
Bentley Paint Protection Film
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a high-performance, transparent film designed to protect your Bentley from stone chips, road debris, swirl marks and general wear. It is particularly beneficial on front bumpers, splitters, side skirts, rear arches and exposed carbon fibre components. We install Bentley Bentayga Paint Protection Film on both pre-facelift and facelift models, as well as Bentley Continental Paint Protection Film for Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 Continental GT vehicles.
Every time we install PPF film, the paintwork is machine polished and decontaminated before film application to ensure a flawless, invisible finish. When professionally installed, PPF preserves the original factory paint beneath it while maintaining the deep gloss and clarity Bentley vehicles are known for. This means that every time you clean the car it will quickly recover the same finish as when the car was delivered from factory.
Bentley Vinyl Wrapping in Manchester
For owners looking for a change in appearance, we offer full and partial Bentley vinyl wrap service. Whether you want a satin finish, gloss black roof, de-chrome package, carbon fibre styling or a full colour change, each wrap is applied with careful preparation and precise edge finishing. The goal is always the same—the vehicle needs to retain the high-end finish after a wrap. We regularly wrap Bentley Continental GT Mk2 and Mk3 models, as well as Bentayga V8 and Speed variants, ensuring the final result complements the vehicle's original design.
Whether you are protecting your Bentley with Paint Protection Film or transforming it with a wrap, the work must be carried out properly. These are high-value vehicles, and we treat them accordingly.
Bentley Dent Repair & Bentley Paintless Dent Repair
At Bodyshop Manchester, we understand that many dents can be removed properly without resorting to filler, if they are approached correctly. Our priority is always to retain the original factory paint wherever possible. In many cases, this means carefully extracting the dent through controlled panel beating and heat application, rather than immediately filling and repainting the area. Bentley panels, particularly aluminium, require a measured and experienced approach. The metal reacts differently to pressure and temperature, and without the correct technique it can easily stretch or distort. Our aim is to reshape the panel back to its original form while preserving the integrity of the paint finish.
Bentley Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Where the paint surface remains intact, Bentley Paintless Dent Repair allows us to remove dents without repainting the panel. Using specialist tools, we carefully manipulate the metal from behind the panel, restoring its original contour without disturbing the lacquer. This method is ideal for parking damage, minor creases and light impact dents. When carried out properly, the repair is virtually undetectable and the original paint remains untouched.
Bentley Dent Repair (Including Paint Damage)
If the paint has been broken or the dent cannot be corrected using paintless methods alone, we carry out full Bentley dent repair using the appropriate preparation, primer systems and refinishing techniques. Bentley paintwork is often multi-layered with complex metallic or pearlescent finishes. Achieving a correct colour match and maintaining depth requires experience and careful application. The objective is always the same—to restore the panel so the repair cannot be seen. Whether minor or more substantial, dent repairs on a Bentley should never be rushed. We assess each vehicle carefully and choose the method that protects the car's originality and long-term value.
