hi,
is there any spec where w12 badge should be placed on gt ?

what years it was available?

is it original from bentley? in what cases it was added? per customer request?

i see on the ebay full chrome and chrome with black. what were applied where?

 

hi - i bought this badge - it goes on the left wing - is there any helpful person who can check in service data exact measures where it is located on 2007/8 model? Thank you so much!

this one / number:

My '09 did not have that badge and I think it may have first been added on the Gen2. Here's a pic of my '16 with it. The bottom edge of the badge is 3 inches up from the crease.

 

when they introduced v8, they started badging gt, question is where to put (exact position) this w12 badge? would be good to get measures from the edges.

 

Centered on the panel section and bottom edge of the badge (flat bottom of the 2) three inches above the body panel crease.

 

Bruce, not sure it describes the position of W12 on the front wing...
from where you got this?

 

@sazam ,
You asked about were the "W12" badging was placed on the "2007/8 model", the badges never came on any 2007, 2008, or any first GEN GT's, the badging appears to have started sometime in 2013-2014, I only found one picture of a 2013, but many more of a 2014.

I personally did not care for the look, so I placed the Union Jack on each side..

John, as always - you knows good, so date is known.

If i should believe in scuderia - they say this:



Still positioning information would be great to get - I dont have etis on any other db, to have this measures, maybe anyone has?

 

@sazam ,
Position information ???

Just figure it out from the picture, and do the same on both sides.

Here is another 2014 with the W12 badging.

Here is where I put the Union Jacks on my GT, not the factory location, but I like my look better than the factory look.

btw - it looks like they (fabric) dont know how to stick it... or the photos are from fixed cars after damages and shop did not know how to stick it.





see the spacing...

 

john... ok, maybe we are on different planets but... see how this is professionally diagramed - example from other car:

 

I took the measurement from my car which is a Gen2 (2016). I see from Johnny's pics that you're looking to mount it higher on the Gen1.

 

Thank you som much Bruce, really appreciate you did the effort to measure, thought you found it somewhere in internet.
Correct - I want to be close to the original placement of W12 on the wing, Gen1, as shown on the picture.
Thank you again!

 

As long as you do them the same on both sides you'll be fine. Eyeball one of them to match the pics and then measure the result and do the same on the other side.

 

@sazam ,
Just to be clear one more time, the GEN 1 Bentley's never had these W12 badges, so there is no "original placement" of said badges for your 2005, and as the second GEN fenders/wings have a different profile, they are not exact, so adding these to your 2005 is not period correct or conforming to any original placement in any way, it's just what you want to add, and that is 100% your choice, your vehicle.
I see that one of the pictures I posted shows the larger spacing between the 1 & 2, but the majority of all photos online show the 1&2 closer together, so do a search on your own if the multiple photos I posted can not help you.

As far a Scuderia and it information, it is not always correct, I have had phone conversations with them about this, it sometimes is the information provided by Bentley or another that is incorrect, another thing to keep in mind is the generation changes and release times in North America market, versus European market, NA 2011 is still first GEN, whereas 2011 in the European market is 2nd GEN.

Here are a few more pics of the W12 placement on a 2014 and 2015, the 2016 drops to the lower portion of the fender as @BruceR stated.
