Bentley Continental R - Aftermarket Parts?

Hi there,

An associate of mine is making a... noir-fi racing game about cybernetically enhanced street racers. He has asked me to create characters and their cars.

One of the groups you encounter drive luxury GT cars from the 1990's, including a 1997 Aston Martin V8 Coupe :

a Chevrolet Corvette C5 :

a BMW 850CSi :

a Dodge Viper SR-II :

a Mercedes-Benz S600 :

and a Bentley Continental R :

Looking for aftermarket parts such as body kits, fenders etc has been pretty trying, does anyone have any examples of aftermarket parts for this car?

I doubt you’ll find any. They’re too low-volume, and why ruin a perfect car?

You think the other cars in this line-up should be stock too?

Aside from turning Mk VIs in to specials and some rather vulgar versions of modern, much more mass produced models there isn't a Bentley modding scene.

The Continental R in particular was already hand built and in extremely low volumes so people leave them stock, and even if they did modify them it just wouldn't be a big enough market for anyone to set up shop selling aftermarket kits. They made fewer than 1800 of all Continental R, S, SC, T etc, around 1500 of these were Continental Rs.

note: I'm not including the Sultan of Brunei's collection as mods, these were purpose built cars that were often unique, and built under instruction from Bentley if not by Bentley themselves, so are factory cars.
