Bentley Continental Corrosion
Discussion
Same here. 2008 Speed. Both front sill edges. Bottom of door and wheel arch in places.
Started way back in 2012. I have been trying to keep the corrosion at bay but Im loosing the battle.
Not what I expected from a bentley then you stop and think......it isn't really a bentley its VAG car. I think the Germans have been laughing at us for years. Re badge a Phatom and throw some expensive interior that appears on first glance to mirror the Bentleys of old, but when you take a deeper look its right out of an Audi. Yes they saved Bentley but for what.... Imo there is no special body work prep and paints. To VAG Its just another body shell to prep and paint with just enough expense to last the warranty period .

2011 (2012MY) - 45k miles - Bubbling below window on offside door, rust above trim on nearside door, rust under front arches on both sides. Car was garaged for the 4 years we had it and in that time covered very little mileage. This was the last straw as we'd had electronics issues during the final year that cost several £000s. We feared further issues so we sold it. It was our second (though oldest) Conti. and, much as we love them, we'd be very hesitant about buying another.
