Mansory Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT 2nd-Gen (D2A)

Mansory Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT 2nd-Gen (D2A) — Carbon Programme Overview

This Mansory programme is built specifically for the second-generation Bentley Continental GT — the 2011-2018 car on the VW Group D2A platform. That chassis distinction matters. When Bentley moved the third-generation Continental to the MSB architecture in 2018 (the same platform as the Porsche Panamera), the rear track widened, the rear-axle weight bias shifted, and the panel hardpoints changed. A 2nd-gen GT is mechanically a different car from a 3rd-gen GT, and the bumpers, fenders and quarter-pieces in this set are cut to D2A geometry, not MSB. If you own a 2011-2018 Continental, this is the kit that respects the chassis you already chose.

The thesis is simple. Many 2nd-gen owners look at a 3rd-gen Speed and feel pressure to trade up. We disagree. The D2A car has a front-mid-engine character the MSB car deliberately moved away from; it keeps the original Crewe-era cabin lines, the squarer rear haunches and the longer dash-to-axle the 3rd-gen softened. A Mansory body kit on a D2A Continental is a 2nd-gen-loyalist statement — decisive, unmistakably Conti, and aggressive enough to put a Speed badge in its place without you ever needing one.

D2A vs MSB — why this kit is generation-specific

The MSB platform under the 3rd-gen Continental was engineered around the Panamera donor set: a 2925 mm wheelbase, wider rear track, electric rear-axle steering on Speed trims, and a kerb-weight distribution closer to 53/47. The D2A car you own has a 2746 mm wheelbase, a rear track narrower by roughly 36 mm, no rear-axle steering, and a 56/44 nose-led layout that gives the 2nd-gen its on-throttle stance. Panel-flow on this kit follows that 56/44 bias — rear arches widened in proportion to existing track, not pushed out to match an MSB silhouette that doesn't apply to your car.

Bolting an MSB-cut bumper or 3rd-gen-style fender extension to a D2A car gaps at the body line or forces oversize spacers that shorten bearing life. This kit avoids that. Every fixing point is mapped to the 2011-2018 unibody, the bumper crash structure clears the original D2A rebar, and the front splitter line works with the 2nd-gen radiator geometry rather than the wider MSB cooling stack.

Carbon panels included in the GT/GTC V8 set

The set covers the full external silhouette: a redesigned front bumper with integrated splitter and brake-cooling intakes, vented bonnet (carbon centre with body-colour or carbon outer skin), four wide-arch fender extensions matched to the D2A track, side-skirt blades that visually lengthen the dash-to-axle, a rear bumper with diffuser and quad-exhaust cut-outs, a boot-lid spoiler tuned to the 2nd-gen rear glass rake, and a roof-edge gurney for GTC convertible variants. Every panel is autoclave-cured prepreg carbon, supplied with mounting hardware and a fitment manual. Common bundled options: forged 22-inch Mansory wheels (M9, M10 or M14 patterns) cut to the D2A offset window, a stainless quad-exhaust tuned for the 4.0 V8 or 6.0 W12, and an interior carbon trim set for dashboard, centre console and door cards.

D2A vs MSB rear-end geometry — what changes between Conti generations

Build queue: ten steps to delivery

1. You send chassis specs — VIN, model year, V8 or W12, GT or GTC roof, plus any Speed-pack or Mulliner trim. The VIN confirms D2A revision and post-2014 facelift hardware.
2. We check fitment against the kit master file and flag year-specific differences — for example, the 2015+ headlamp bracket the splitter accommodates without rework.
3. You sign off carbon weave (1x1 plain, 2x2 twill, or forged), lacquer (gloss, satin, raw matte), and any visible-carbon vs body-colour split.
4. If you want forged wheels, we lock diameter, offset and centre-bore — typically 22-inch on a D2A GT to clear the original Brembo PCCB callipers.
5. 50% deposit clears, the order enters the Mansory production queue, and we issue a build-slot date with delivery-week estimate.
6. Lay-up runs in autoclave at the carbon shop. Bumpers, fenders and quarter-pieces are produced as one matched batch so weave alignment carries across panels.
7. Pre-shipment fitment check on a reference D2A Conti — bumpers test-mounted, gaps measured, splitter rake confirmed, photo set sent to you for sign-off before crating.
8. Balance payment clears against the photo set. Crates are packed with custom foam profiles; carbon is wrapped in soft cloth before foam contact to protect the lacquer.
9. Insured freight ships door-to-door with tracking, HS-coded customs paperwork, and a fitment manual cut to your installer's preferred language.
10. Your installer fits the kit — usually 3-5 working days including paint-match where applicable. We stay on call for any chassis-specific question during fitment.

V8 vs W12 — fitment notes for both engines

The 2nd-gen Continental came with two engines that mattered: the 4.0 twin-turbo V8 (introduced 2012, shared block family with Audi/Porsche) and the carry-over 6.0 W12 from the original D1 chassis. The Mansory bumper, splitter and bonnet clear both. The W12 carries a taller intercooler stack and a different airbox-feed routing under the bonnet skin, so vent geometry is sized to the W12 envelope — V8 cars get a small amount of clearance air, which is a feature. Front-bumper cooling intakes are sized for the larger W12 radiator pack, so a V8 owner gets generous airflow for the lower-thermal-load 4.0. Speed-trim GTs (W12, 626 or 633 PS) and Supersports cars bolt on without modification — badge differences are interior/wheel-spec, not unibody. Mulliner-trim owners can request that the side-vent be re-mounted on the new fender at order time.

Speed badge thesis — why this kit replaces the upgrade question

Owners ask: "Should I trade my GT V8 for a Speed?" For D2A cars: not unless you specifically want the W12. The visual aggression a Speed badge buys on a 2nd-gen Conti is what this kit delivers more decisively. Wider arches, splitter, diffuser, carbon hood — these read on the road harder than any Speed-trim wheel or grille pack, and you keep the V8 you paid for with its lighter front axle and better-balanced chassis feel. The 3rd-gen Speed exists in a different chassis world: rear-axle steering, Panamera-shared MSB tuning, electronically wider rear track. A 2nd-gen GT doesn't need to imitate any of that to look fast. With this kit, it doesn't.

Conti collectors, four cities — where this kit gets fitted

Geneva. Switzerland has the highest density of D2A Continentals per square kilometre of any market we deliver to. Geneva-area collectors typically order this kit in matte-lacquered carbon over Beluga or Onyx Black, with 22-inch forged wheels in graphite. Installation is handled by a single specialist workshop in canton Vaud that we've worked with on five Conti GT builds since 2023.

London. UK orders cluster around West London and Surrey. Most are W12 Speed or GTC V8 cars in long-term collector hands — owners who chose to keep the 2nd-gen rather than rotate into a 3rd-gen Speed. The bumper-and-fender pack is the single most-ordered configuration here, with the boot spoiler added on roughly half of GT coupe builds.

Dubai. The Gulf cluster orders the most aggressive specifications — full kit plus forged wheels plus quad-exhaust, almost always in visible 2x2 twill carbon with no body-colour split. Dubai-based dealers commission for stock as well as for end clients, so we hold a small allocation in the queue specifically for UAE delivery.

Hong Kong. HK owners run smaller cars on tight streets, but the Conti GT has a loyal D2A following here — particularly for GTC convertibles. Forged 21-inch wheels are more common than 22 because of pothole and ramp clearance, and we'll usually configure raw-matte rather than gloss to mute visual width on narrow Mid-Levels roads.

In Western Europe, the Netherlands and Austria take the largest share, with several builds also crating to Monaco. On the African continent, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa take occasional but consistent Bentley Continental GT commissions. Shipping is door-to-door with insured transit and HS-coded paperwork tailored to the receiving country.

FAQ — Mansory body kit for the 2nd-gen Continental GT

Will this kit fit a 3rd-gen (MSB) Continental GT from 2018 onwards?
No. The 3rd-gen Continental is on the MSB platform — a different unibody with a wider rear track and shifted hardpoints. This product is cut for the D2A 2011-2018 car only, including all V8, W12, Speed, Supersports and GTC variants of that generation. Mansory produces a separate kit for MSB cars.

Does the kit work on both V8 and W12 cars?
Yes. Bumper cooling intakes and bonnet vent geometry are sized to the larger W12 cooling pack, so W12 owners get exact-fit clearance and V8 owners get generous extra airflow. No bumper or bonnet variant is needed between the two engines on the 2nd-gen.

Can I keep my Speed or Mulliner trim pieces?
Speed-trim badging and wheel-pack are independent of the unibody, so the kit fits Speed cars without modification. Mulliner-trim owners can request that the side-vent be re-mounted on the new fender at order time — flag this in your VIN-spec submission.

Do I need oversize wheel spacers with this kit?
No. Fender extensions are sized to the original D2A rear track, not pushed outward to MSB dimensions. Large spacers shorten bearing life and change steering feel. Forged Mansory wheels sold alongside the kit are cut with the correct D2A offset.

How long is the build queue right now?
Lead time is 10-14 weeks from deposit to door, depending on carbon weave and whether you bundle forged wheels and exhaust. Bundled orders ship together on a single freight movement. Reserve a Conti GT slot or send chassis specs to lock your queue position.
