All of a sudden the new Breitling for Bentley designs makes sense.

Yikes, that's bad. He isn't really known for his fashion sense, he wears orange crocs with socks and cargo shorts everyday on his show the chew and the other hosts are always making fun of his lack of taste. Guess the obviously carries over to his taste in cars.....

I think that you'll find that was Mario Batali, somewhat different. :lol:

Nicely camouflaged against the autumn leaves backdrop.
I wonder if he changes color or cars with the seasons of the year :-)

Thats what I love about Bentley. Within reason (hum um), they will customise their products for an indivdual and to there tastes.

I assume this is one they have undertaken for the owner. I would hate to think it underwent its transformation at a Performance Shop carpark on a Saturday afternoon. Invite the boys over, slab of beer. That sort of thing.

This wasn't done by Bentley. It's a vinyl wrap which can be removed if the new owner wants. Since moving to Milan, Balotelli says he will auction off the car for charity.

Another pic of Balotelli's car and a Rolls Royce that's had the same treatment.

Not if it's a wrap - just goes over the factory finish.
