Japanese tuners have taken an interest in European sports cars in a big way. First, we showed you Elite Sports’ spin on the Mercedes CLS. Now, we’re bringing you a limited edition wide body kit for the Bentley Continental GT produced by Japanese tuner Premier4509.
Premier4509’s widebody kit consists of a front bumper, side skirts, a rear bumper, front fenders, and rear quarter panels, which increase the overall width by four inches. Each piece is constructed from a lightweight mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass reinforced plastic. The kit also comes with a four-piece bumper grille and new exhaust tips.
