This is the genuine Bentley Front Hood Shock 3W0823475E. It supports the bonnet on the Bentley Continental, Bentley Continental GTC, and Bentley Flying Spur. The strut lifts the bonnet smoothly and holds it open without a prop rod. You only release the latch, and it does the rest.
The Bentley bonnet is large and heavy. It needs a strong gas-charged strut to hold it safely. A weaker strut from another model will not support the weight.
Over time, the gas pressure inside the strut drops. The bonnet may begin to fall or refuse to stay open. That creates a safety risk while you work in the engine bay.
Replace worn struts with this genuine OEM part. EuropeanAutoSpare ships fast worldwide and provides expert support.

EuropeanAutoSpare strongly recommends replacing the left and right bonnet struts as a matched pair. If one strut has lost sufficient charge to drop the bonnet, the other is likely at a similar point in its service life. A new strut on one side and a weak strut on the other creates uneven opening force and uneven holding always replace both at the same time.
A real Bentley Front Hood Shock 3W0823475E opens your Continental, GTC, or Flying Spur bonnet smoothly and holds it there safely on every use. At 420 mm extended length, 145 mm stroke, and 55 bar nitrogen charge, it is sized and pressurised for Bentley's full bonnet weight. Replace both struts together and never work under a bonnet that might fall without warning.
| Bentley Model | Application | Year Range |
|---|---|---|
| Bentley Continental GT | Front Hood / Bonnet – All Models | 2003–2011 |
| Bentley Continental GTC | Front Hood / Bonnet – All Models | 2006–2011 |
| Bentley Flying Spur | Front Hood / Bonnet – All Models | 2005–2012 |
Yes, this is a genuine Bentley OEM front bonnet gas strut (Part No. 3W0823475E). It is the factory-calibrated support unit designed to safely manage the weight of the Continental’s bonnet and ensure smooth opening and closing operations.
This strut features an extended length of 420 mm, a compressed length of 275 mm, and a 145 mm stroke. It is charged with 55 bar of nitrogen to provide the high lifting force required, and comes equipped with standard 10 mm ball socket fittings at both ends.
While they share a similar appearance, the Bentley strut is longer, has a significantly longer stroke, and carries a higher internal gas charge. This is because the Bentley Continental's steel bonnet is considerably heavier than the Porsche 911's aluminum front lid; using the wrong strut can lead to a bonnet that fails to stay open.
This strut is a direct fit for the Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Continental Flying Spur. Because hood hinge designs evolved across production cycles, please send your VIN to European Auto Spares to confirm the correct generation for your vehicle.
Yes, fast delivery is available across the UAE and worldwide. European Auto Spares provides professional support and specialized packaging to ensure your genuine Bentley body components arrive in perfect condition.
