Man City motor nut buys £260k car for girlfriend
By Simon Ward, 04/10/2009
A QUALITY midfielder uses class, vision and style to stand out . . .
Others, like bonkers bling king Stephen Ireland, use money instead.
For the Manchester City star has gone the extra mile to treat his WAG - and complete a hat-trick of spectacul-urghh own goals.
Pimped
He's splashed out £264,000 to buy his girlfriend a brand new Bentley - and pimped it out in the way only a £70,000-a-week Premier League footie star can.
First the No7 has taken the motor giant's badge and paid a grand to change the iconic B insignia to JL, the initials of partner Jessica Lawlor.
Then he splashed out to have customised red leather seats with a romantic message stitched into them surrounded by a heart shape.
As well as the £2,000 "To Jess Love From Stephen" love letter, the soppy City ace paid £5,000 to add modified alloy wheels rims which carried her initials and sported bright red rims. The Bentley GTC Convertible is one of the first of the new 2010 range to hit the country.
It boasts a 6-litre, 552bhp engine with a top speed of 198mph and can go from naught to sixty in just 4.8 seconds.
. . . and from bought to tacky even quicker, thanks to Stephen.
Either way, the red and white themed motor is not a bad gift to receive for a special occasion. Birthday? Wedding? PHD?
Er, none of the above - turns out the 23-year-old Irish international just wanted to do something "really special" for his girlfriend, 24.
A source close to the couple told us: "He thought this idea would be perfect for Jess. He absolutely loves her and wanted to do the most outrageously romantic thing ever."
Other "outrageous" acts include Stephen's £90,000 Range Rover Sport. This black monster of a machine was delicately tweaked with a PINK grille, PINK alloys and, you guessed it, PINK leather seats.
He also had his red and white Audi R8 re-sprayed light blue - after teammates mocked him for driving in the colours of hated rivals Manchester United.
That £80,000 disaster also featured a Superman petrol cap.
"Stephen really likes the bling," the source went on. "His teammates tease him about it all the time.
"He's become a running joke when it comes to cars."
Laugh? We nearly cried when we saw these pics.

So, he has his red R8 sprayed Blue and White, and then splashes out £260k on a Red and White Bentley.
Expensive irony.

The garish motor.
Or the atrocious "article".

The make over on the Audi was quality, this is a gift for his missus and so I really can't see the issue. Don't like it personally but he didn't design it for me. But of course the press seem to think that everyone should be bland and predictable

I really don't see anything wrong with the audi and the bentley. I think they're savage. The 1st car is awful, however.

Don't be silly, you don't 'pimp' Bentleys and the audi should only ever sold in black.

Bentley are making cars for footballers, what do you expect. It was always going to be ugly and pointless.
Not much point buying a car like that and going stock. They expect you to buy a few extras. I wouldn't have any interest in it myself, but to each their own.

The only part about that Bently that looks 'iffy' is the white. I think if it was something like Black with the red trim it would look awesome!! . But I think the white and red for a bird is ok.
The R8 is cool , but unfortunatly its hard to pull off sky blue on cars imo. Unless its a perl or a metalic.
