Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Rolls-Royce Phantom VI and VII

Mansory programme — Rolls-Royce Phantom VII (Goodwood RR1, 2003-2017)

In January 2003 the first BMW-era Rolls-Royce rolled out of Goodwood. The car was the Phantom VII, codename RR1 internally, the seventh generation of the Phantom name and the foundation product on which the modern Rolls-Royce sub-brand was built after BMW Group's 1998 acquisition of the marque. Production ran from 2003 through 2017 in three sub-variants: the standard-wheelbase saloon (RR1), the Extended Wheelbase EWB (RR2), and the Series II facelift introduced in 2012 with rectangular LED daytime running lamps and revised front-bumper graphics. The Coupe (RR3) and Drophead Coupe (RR4) were spun off from the same platform with different bodyshells; they sit on separate Mansory pages. This page documents the saloon programme — both wheelbases, both pre-2012 and Series II.

Naming note. The kit fits the Phantom VII (RR1) only. The 1968-1991 Phantom VI — Crewe-built coachbuilt limousine on the V8 6.75 R-Series chassis (~374 cars over 23 years, principally state and royal) — is a different car on a different ladder-frame; its panels do not align and the kit does not fit. Sister Goodwood programmes: Phantom VIII (RR12), Phantom Drophead Coupe, Cullinan, Ghost and Wraith.

RR1 chassis specifics — the BMW-era flagship in numbers

The Phantom VII platform was developed in-house at Goodwood from 2000 to 2003 on a steel spaceframe with aluminium body panels — the predecessor architecture to today's all-aluminium Architecture of Luxury, sharing engineering principles but not parts. Coach-doors at the rear, the Pantheon grille framing the Spirit of Ecstasy, a self-righting RR wheel-cap centre, a flat bonnet line.

Drivetrain is rear-wheel-drive throughout — the Phantom VII never adopted all-wheel drive (that arrived with the Phantom VIII in 2017). Suspension is a four-corner air spring with continuously variable damping, ride-height calibration running 50 mm of static range across low / normal / high. Brakes: 374 mm vented front, 370 mm vented rear, with the optional ceramic-composite upgrade arriving on Series II cars only. Tyre fitment from factory: 255/50 R21 on a Goodwood-fit 21" disc-pattern wheel intentionally drawn to mirror the original 1929 Phantom I disc wheel.

BMW N73B68 — the 6.75 V12 the platform was built around

The powertrain is the BMW N73B68, a 6.75-litre 48-valve naturally-aspirated V12 with Valvetronic variable-valve-lift on the intake side. Goodwood and Munich agreed at design phase that a Rolls-Royce should run a V12 with no forced induction — torque arrives smoothly across the rev range rather than in a turbocharged surge, accessible from ~1 000 rpm above idle. From 2003 to 2012 Goodwood paired the engine with the GM 6L80 six-speed automatic; at the 2012 facelift this was replaced with the ZF 8HP eight-speed. The Mansory rear apron fits both — the OEM exhaust-tip footprint is unchanged across the GM-to-ZF transition.

Carbon panels — what ships

The Phantom VII Mansory set is OEM-restraint by design. No fender flares, no widened track, no bonded panels. The carbon language is sized to a 1 990 mm saloon that already commands road space without help, painted to coachline by default with visible-weave finishes reserved for the bonnet pad and mirror caps.

• Carbon front bumper — full replacement, two chassis-specific variants. Pre-2012 takes the round-headlight bumper with the original chrome lower-intake bar; post-2012 takes the rectangular-LED bumper with the redrawn lower mesh and the chrome side-blade graphic.
• Vented carbon bonnet pad — low-profile overlay with two functional NACA cuts above the V12 plenum; OEM Spirit of Ecstasy mounting and the OEM Pantheon grille frame both preserved at front centre.
• Pantheon grille frame in carbon — replaces the OEM chrome frame; the grille mesh and the Spirit of Ecstasy proportions remain factory.
• Side sills — separate-length items for SWB and EWB cars. EWB sills are 250 mm longer than the SWB set.
• Rear bumper apron — full replacement, dimensioned to the OEM twin-tip exhaust outlet on both pre-2012 and post-2012 cars.
• Fixed bootlid spoiler — discreet carbon kick on the boot edge; recut to clear the OEM RR badge mounting on the centre of the bootlid.
• Mirror caps in visible weave; OEM lane-change indicator and surround-camera apertures preserved.
• Spirit of Ecstasy surround — small detail piece around the retracting Spirit of Ecstasy mounting bezel.

22" forged on the 5x120 PCD

The Phantom VII saloon runs the BMW Group 5x120 mm bolt circle on a 74.1 mm centre bore. Mansory specifies the kit on a 22" forged set as the matched fitment, replacing the OEM 21" disc-pattern Goodwood wheel:

• 22x9.0J ET+38 front, 22x10.0J ET+30 rear, sized to clear the OEM 374 mm vented front disc on pre-2012 cars and the optional ceramic upgrade on Series II.
• Tyre fitment 265/40 R22 front, 295/35 R22 rear on a slight stagger for visible wheel-cap depth in the rear arch.
• Patterns: M.7 classic multi-spoke (the dominant Phantom VII fitment), FD.16 dual-spoke concave, YN.5 double-Y with the option of a closed disc-wheel-style centre cap for owners who want to preserve the Phantom disc-wheel signature.
• Finishes: paint-to-coachline (the dominant fitment), polished face, satin black, two-tone with diamond-cut shoulder.
• Catalogue at hodoor.world/collection/forgedwheels.

The set trims ~4 kg of unsprung mass per corner against the OEM 21" cast Goodwood disc wheel; on a 2 550 kg saloon the change is small in proportion but readable in tyre-roar suppression at autobahn speeds. Air-suspension calibration is unaffected.

Build, paint, lead time

Fitment runs 6 to 8 hours at a Rolls-Royce-experienced shop — bolt-on across the full panel schedule. Body-shop turnaround on a full painted finish is 9 to 12 working days, dominated by the panel paint cycle (front bumper, side sills, rear apron, Pantheon grille frame and bootlid spoiler all paint-to-coachline by default). Carbon set production runs 5 to 7 weeks at Brand-Erbisdorf. Sea freight to GCC, East Asia or the Caribbean is 22-26 days; air inside Europe is 3-5 working days. End-to-end timeline VIN-confirmed quote to keys: 10 to 13 weeks.

Country corridor — where Phantom VII commissions land in 2026

Goodwood shipped to ~80 markets between 2003 and 2017; the 2026 Mansory book is part historical reactivation and part active royal/corporate fleet replacement.

• UAE — Dubai and Abu Dhabi ship the largest commission share; royal households run Series II as a reliable secondary chauffeur platform alongside Phantom VIII primary fleet.
• Saudi Arabia Riyadh / Jeddah commissions favour the EWB body — the longer rear cabin is the dominant Saudi spec on Phantom VII.
• United Kingdom — Goodwood's domestic market; Mayfair and Surrey body shops handle most installs, with a Channel Islands extension via Jersey.
• Monaco orders paint-to-sample 22" forged at the highest rate of any market on this chassis.
• Isle of Man — small but consistent flow; Manx registration accepts the kit on a Mansory engineering-letter.
• Bermuda ships small-volume but high-spec EWB Series II commissions in OEM English White or Goodwood Black.

FAQ

Is the page about the Phantom VI or the Phantom VII?
The kit fits the Phantom VII (RR1 saloon, 2003-2017) only. The Phantom VI title reference is a naming anomaly carried over from catalogue history; the 1968-1991 Crewe Phantom VI is a different car on a different chassis and surviving examples mostly sit in royal-household, museum or long-term-collector custody.

Will the kit fit a Phantom VIII (RR12)?
No. The VIII sits on Architecture of Luxury with the twin-turbo N74B68 V12 — different fender, bumper and powertrain geometry. Take the dedicated Phantom VIII programme.

Pre-2012 versus post-2012 Series II — which kit do I take?
The 2012 facelift redrew the front bumper around the new rectangular LED daytime running lamps. The Mansory front bumper ships in two chassis-specific variants; VIN match selects the correct one at order. All other panels are common across pre-2012 / Series II and SWB / EWB.

Will the kit fit the Phantom Coupe (RR3) or Drophead Coupe (RR4)?
No — the two-door bodyshells diverge from saloon datums. The Drophead has its own page: Phantom Drophead Coupe programme.
