I agreed this JP car is not the best you can do, I guess I was excited because this is the 1st Phantom I see that is slammed

So true

RR defined VIP, it wins, hands down

FWD VIP car is as cool as a 2WD lifted Hummer offroad vehicle

My favorite is FWD TL with staggered wider rear wheels/tires

Yeah it does look cool, but man how lame and fake is that? Is like you really love Honda products so much that you can't go buy a RWD Lexus/Infiniti/Hyundai instead?

I know this is not VIP, just the best pic I can find quickly

I really don't mind staggered wheel setup on a FWD if the owner is only going after all show and no go. If they're trying to go for all go then.....

2nd, in case you don't know, both RR and Bentley are all German owns and engineerred now. The Phantom is all BMW engineerred, V12 and tranny is from BMW. The ghost is a direct rebadge of the 760Li. The Mulsanne is mostly engineerred by Audi.

Buying a 10 years old Ghost and Mulsanne is not any different then buying a 10 years old 760Li and S8, tons of people do that.

I probably shouldn't say too much as I don't want anyone to want these cars in 10 years so they don't worth much for me to buy
Its all about personal opinion, and my cars are investments in who I am, who I am going to become, and most importantly how I will get there.

Your 2nd point, I know very well about the build of both cars but for the money I will pass, for 100k I will buy a 7series new, not an old worn out rebadged car

I think the wheels are a bit too big but I like them. Thr car doesn.t need the kit but it's not ugly. Overall, I like the car.

Really? No one appreciates a slammed RR phantom? That car is long, so it being slammed is cool. Hey, Yakuza have the right to get bigger cars

I kinda like it. Kit is pretty subtle, not in your face too much.

One thing I HATE about the phantom is the itty bitty little taillights for such a humongous car

hey, you can pull off a staggered look with the same width, but different offset-but I know what you mean
