Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Bentley Flying Spur 2016

Mansory programme — Bentley Flying Spur 2016 facelift (3W chassis, B-platform sedan)

Bentley refreshed the second-generation Flying Spur in March 2016 — visually modest by Continental-segment standards but specific enough to require its own Mansory front-end SKU set. The grille mesh switched from horizontal-bar to vertical-vane honeycomb; the lower bumper acquired an LED-DRL bar in place of round fog-lamp pockets; the splitter line moved rearward; the bootlid badge shifted; tail-lamp inner-lens graphics changed. The 2014-spec front bumper does not sit flush on a 2016 car. This page documents the Mansory programme dimensioned to the 2016-2019 facelift body on the 3W chassis, distinct from the 2014 launch-spec kit. Sister Bentley pages: 2005-2013 Continental Flying Spur (D1), 2019+ Flying Spur (MSB), Bentayga 2020 and Flying Spur 3SK.

What changed at the 2016 mid-cycle refresh

Bentley billed the 2016 update as a styling refresh; walking the two cars side by side, the visual delta is more specific than the launch literature suggested.

• Grille — vertical-vane honeycomb mesh replaced the launch-spec horizontal-bar pattern; chrome frame thickened ~4 mm at the upper edge.
• Bumper LED-DRL bar — the round fog-lamp pockets were replaced with a horizontal LED-DRL bar moulded into the bumper; supplementary fog lamps moved up into the headlamp cluster.
• Splitter line — moved ~6 mm rearward against the bumper-to-fender flange.
• Bootlid badge — "Flying Spur" script and winged-B badge shifted millimetres.
• Tail-lamp inner lens — clear-lens detail added; outer LED graphic unchanged.

The 2014 Mansory front bumper carries the round fog-lamp opening; it will not align on a 2016-onward bumper-to-fender flange and the LED-DRL bar has no home in the 2014 panel. This page recuts the front bumper, front-fender vent insert and splitter-lip profile to facelift datums. Side sills, rear apron, vented bonnet, mirror caps and boot lip are common with the 2014 kit.

Donor scope — engines, transmissions, weights

The 2016-2019 production window covers the full second-generation engine catalogue. Specifications below are stated against the third-tier facelift trim level (Mulliner Driving Specification) which became the dominant order spec from 2017 onward.

Wheelbase 3 066 mm, length 5 295 mm, body width 1 977 mm. Kerb weight 2 475 kg (W12), 2 425 kg (V8 / V8 S). Suspension: four-corner adaptive air with continuous damping. Factory fitment: 19" cast / 20" Mulliner / 21" Mulliner Driving Specification. The Mansory kit fits all three engines; the only donor-specific change is the exhaust-tip part number (W12 quad-tip, V8 twin-tip, V8 S twin-tip with wider lateral spacing).

Carbon parts schedule

The Flying Spur kit is additive rather than wide-body — no bonded flares, no widened track, no roof spoiler. The carbon language is present but understated, sized to a 5 295 mm sedan that already commands road space without help.

1. Front bumper carbon lip with integrated splitter — sits below the OEM 2016-spec bumper, recut to the post-2016 LED-DRL bumper datums; central splitter and front canard pair on the lower outer corners.
2. Vented carbon bonnet pad — low-profile overlay with two NACA ducts above the engine plenum; painted to body colour by default, lacquered visible-weave finish optional.
3. Front-fender carbon vent insert — replaces the OEM chrome insert ahead of the front door; the 2016 facelift insert is recut around the bumper LED-DRL bar moulding.
4. Side sill add-on pair — carbon extensions below the OEM rocker, finished flush with the door cut.
5. Rear bumper apron — diffuser-shaped carbon piece below the OEM rear bumper, with cutouts for the W12 quad-tip or V8 twin-tip exhaust geometry.
6. Bootlid spoiler — discreet carbon kick on the boot edge, sized for the sedan's long rear deck and recut to clear the 2016 facelift Bentley winged-B badge position.
7. Mirror caps in visible weave; OEM lane-change indicator and surround-camera apertures preserved.
8. B-pillar overlay pair in visible weave (an option on the 2016 facelift kit that did not ship on the 2014 launch-spec catalogue).

Fitment runs 4 to 6 hours at a Bentley-experienced shop — bolt-on against OEM mounting, no body cuts, no flares. Reversible at the body, which is the right answer for a chauffeured Mulliner Driving Specification car that may change owners through a Bentley dealership.

22" M-series forged

• 22x9.5J ET+45 front, 22x10.5J ET+38 rear on the 3W chassis 5x112 PCD, 66.6 mm centre bore.
• Tyre 275/35 R22 front, 295/30 R22 rear; OEM TPMS transfers from the 21" Mulliner fitment.
• Patterns: M.9 classic multi-spoke (W12), M.11 deep-dish concave (V8 / V8 S), FD.16 dual-spoke concave.
• Finishes: diamond black, gloss black, polished face, two-tone with diamond-cut shoulder, paint-to-sample.
• Clears OEM iron-disc and ceramic upgrade brake packages without spacers. Catalogue at hodoor.world/collection/forgedwheels.

The 22" forged trims ~5 kg unsprung mass per corner against the OEM 21" Mulliner cast wheel; the chassis settles measurably softer at highway speed and air-suspension calibration is unaffected.

Mansory Powerbox — modest by design

On the W12 the Powerbox lifts the donor from 626 PS / 800 Nm to ~700 PS / 880 Nm. On the V8 the gain is ~+60 PS / +70 Nm (to ~567 PS / 730 Nm); V8 S is ~+50 PS / +60 Nm (to ~578 PS / 740 Nm). Deliberately conservative — Mansory does not offer a stage-2 reflash on the 3W because the 8HP ZF gearbox is calibrated for a fixed torque envelope. OBD-port reversible at any service interval.

Country corridor — where 2016 facelift commissions cluster

Flying Spur owners cluster in markets where four-door luxury sedans get more daily use than two-door coupes — the Gulf, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the Channel Islands and Monaco.

• UAE — largest single-market share; Dubai and Abu Dhabi run the chassis daily through Mulliner fleets and the new vertical-vane grille reads well against Beluga-black and Onyx-black paint signatures.
• Qatar Doha commissions favour the W12 donor and the quad-tip rear bumper variant.
• Hong Kong 3W facelift cars are typically chauffeured; the bootlid spoiler and B-pillar overlay are the dominant single-panel orders.
• Switzerland Geneva and Zurich body shops handle the bond cycle in-country; Swiss MFK approval on a TÜV-stamped Mansory 3W is routine.
• Monaco ships the 22" M-series in paint-to-sample finish at a higher rate than other markets.
• Jersey and Guernsey Channel Islands commissions are small but recurring.

FAQ

Will the 2014 launch-spec kit fit a 2016 facelift donor?
No on the front bumper, front-fender vent insert and splitter lip — those panels are dimensioned around the launch-spec round fog-lamp opening and bumper-to-fender flange. Side sills, rear apron, vented bonnet, mirror caps and bootlid spoiler are common between the two kits and transfer cleanly. We confirm bumper era against chassis VIN before any kit ships.

Does the kit work on the V8 Flying Spur as well as the W12?
Yes. Bodywork is identical between V8, V8 S and W12 cars on the 3W chassis; only the exhaust-tip part number differs (quad-tip W12, twin-tip V8, wider-spaced twin-tip V8 S) and is supplied to match the donor on quote.

Will the Mansory 22" forged clear the OEM ceramic-composite brake upgrade?
Yes — the 22x9.5J / 22x10.5J forged set is dimensioned around the W12's optional Mulliner ceramic-composite front disc without spacers. Iron-disc and ceramic packages both clear the Mansory front-wheel face geometry.

Does the kit fit the 2019+ third-generation Flying Spur?
No. The third-generation 3SK on the Porsche-derived MSB platform is a complete chassis change. Take the dedicated Flying Spur 3SK programme.
