Mansory Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT (3rd Gen, MSB, 2018+)

Mansory Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT (3rd Gen, MSB, 2018+) — Carbon Programme Overview

This Mansory carbon body kit is built specifically for the third-generation Bentley Continental GT — the MSB-platform car launched in 2018 and produced through 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 model years, in both Continental GT coupe and Continental GTC convertible form. Every panel in this programme is cut against the Porsche-Panamera-derived MSB unibody, not the earlier D2A car. If you own a 3rd-gen Conti and you want a wide-body Mansory conversion that fits the way factory bodywork fits, this is the kit.

The thesis behind the programme is simple. The 3rd-gen Continental GT is, by some margin, the most capable grand tourer Bentley has ever built — a 2851 mm wheelbase, a 53/47 weight bias, 48-volt active anti-roll bars, optional rear-wheel steering, twin-turbo V8 and W12 engines making 542 to 659 horsepower. It deserves an aero programme that respects the engineering, not a bolt-on body kit cut for a car that no longer exists. Mansory's brief was to wide-body the MSB Conti without breaking the balance Crewe spent four years dialling in. This kit is the result.

Why MSB platform fitment matters

The 3rd-gen Continental GT sits on the Modular Sports Body — Porsche's MSB architecture, shared with the Panamera. That platform changed almost every dimension that matters to a body kit. The wheelbase grew 105 mm to 2851 mm. The rear track widened by 36 mm to 1640 mm. The engine bay was pushed rearwards to shift weight distribution from the old car's nose-led 56/44 to a far more composed 53/47. The bumper crash structure was redesigned around MSB subframe hardpoints. The front arch hardpoints moved. The 48-volt active anti-roll bar architecture sits where conventional sway-bar mounts used to live.

Every one of those changes has a consequence for body kit fitment. A bumper cut for the D2A car (2011-2018 Continental GT) will not mount cleanly to an MSB Conti — the bolt locations are wrong, the crash-rebar geometry is wrong, the splitter line fights the new front-radiator stack. A fender extension cut for D2A track will gap at the body line on MSB. This programme avoids that. Every panel is mapped to the MSB unibody, every bracket aligns with original Bentley hardpoints, and the aerodynamic balance targets are tuned for the 53/47 layout — not for the older car's nose-heavy character.

Carbon panels included in the GT & GTC programme

The set covers the full external silhouette of the 3rd-gen Continental GT. Every panel is autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fibre — controlled-pressure, controlled-temperature lay-up with void content below two per cent, which is the number that matters when a piece will sit centimetres from the road at 320 km/h.

• Front bumper assembly with integrated splitter, dive planes and enlarged brake-cooling intakes sized for the W12 thermal pack.
• Carbon engine bonnet with central vent geometry tuned to the 6.0 W12 airbox routing. Available as full-carbon or carbon-centre-with-body-colour outer skin.
• Wide-arch fender extensions front and rear, shaped to the MSB 1640 mm rear track — no spacer cheats, no MSB-to-D2A geometry mismatch.
• Side-skirt blades running the full length of the 2851 mm wheelbase, visually lengthening the dash-to-axle without drooping at the door cut.
• Rear bumper with integrated diffuser, vertical strakes and quad-exhaust cut-outs.
• Boot-lid spoiler tuned to the 3rd-gen Conti rear-glass rake (low-profile, surface-engineered — not a stick-on duck tail).
• GTC-specific roof-edge gurney for convertible cars — small piece, mandatory on roof-down high-speed cars.
• Carbon mirror caps, side-vent inserts and door-cup carbon trims.

Bundled options: forged 22-inch and 23-inch Mansory wheels in M9, M10, V6 or V13 patterns cut to the MSB offset window; stainless-steel quad-exhaust tuned for the 4.0 V8 or 6.0 W12; interior carbon trim set covering dashboard, centre console, door cards and the rotating-display surround. Finish options: 1×1 plain weave, 2×2 twill, forged-carbon marbling; lacquer in gloss, satin or raw matte; visible carbon or colour-matched body paint over carbon substrate.

Why Mansory — the credibility behind the carbon

Mansory has been wide-bodying Bentley Continentals continuously since the original D1 car in 2005. Twenty years of Bentley-specific carbon engineering is what separates a Mansory programme from a generic aftermarket kit ordered off a website. The carbon shop runs autoclaves up to seven metres in length, lay-up is hand-laid by technicians on Bentley-only stations, and every panel is checked on a master jig cut from a reference MSB Continental before it leaves Brand. The result is a kit that bolts up, sits flush and reads as factory-OEM aggression rather than aftermarket fitment compromise. If you have looked at cheaper "Mansory-style" body kits and wondered why the price is a fraction — the autoclave hours and the master-jig QA are the reason. You can see the difference in the fender-to-door gap.

Year-by-year coverage — every 3rd-gen Continental GT

The kit fits the full production run of the 3rd-generation Conti, including every facelift and special edition. 2018 launch W12; 2019 V8 introduction; 2020 GTC convertible and Mulliner trim; 2021 Speed launch with rear-wheel steering as standard and 659 PS from the 6.0 W12; 2022 Azure trim and Mulliner Blackline pack; 2023 S specification with revised wheels and dark-tone exterior pack; 2024 Mulliner W12 final-edition cars marking the end of the W12 era; 2025 updates and limited-run cars. All of them share the same MSB external panel envelope. One kit, every spec.

V8 vs W12 — fitment notes for both engines

The 3rd-gen Conti runs two engines that matter: the 4.0 twin-turbo V8 making 542 PS (introduced in the 2019 model year, shared block family with Audi RS and Porsche Panamera Turbo) and the 6.0 twin-turbo W12 making 635 PS in standard trim or 659 PS in Speed specification. Both engines bolt under exactly the same MSB front-end sheet metal — Bentley did not differentiate body panels by engine on the 3rd-gen platform.

Mansory's front-bumper cooling intakes are sized for the larger W12 radiator pack, so a V8 owner gets generous extra airflow for the lower-thermal-load 4.0. Bonnet vent geometry is cut to clear the W12 airbox-feed routing; V8 cars get the same panel, with slightly more clearance air underneath. There is no V8-specific or W12-specific kit variant — one programme covers both. Speed cars (W12 659 PS) bolt up to the same body panels without modification; the Speed's rear-axle steering and stiffer suspension calibration have no consequence at the panel level.

GT coupe vs GTC convertible — what changes

The Continental GT coupe and the GTC convertible share the MSB unibody from the A-pillar forward and from the rear axle back, but two areas differ. First, the rear-quarter geometry — the GTC's soft-top mechanism housing sits behind the door and alters the panel shape over the rear arch. Mansory's GTC rear fender extensions are profiled at the leading edge to clear that housing; the GT-coupe rear extensions are not interchangeable to the GTC. Second, the rear-deck trailing edge — the coupe's boot-lid spoiler works against the Kammback roofline, while the GTC has no fixed roof reference. The GTC programme replaces the boot spoiler with a carbon gurney flap that maintains rear-axle aerodynamic load whether the soft top is up or down. Confirm GT or GTC at order time — the VIN settles the question if you are unsure.

Speed, Mulliner, Azure, S, Odyssean — trim compatibility

Trim designation does not affect MSB unibody hardpoints. Every Continental GT and GTC trim made between 2018 and 2025 — Speed, Mulliner, Azure, S, Odyssean, Bentayga-spec Mulliner Blackline, the V8 Mulliner of 2023 — bolts onto this kit without modification. Mulliner-trim owners who want the original side-vent re-mounted on the new wide fender can request the modification at order stage. Speed owners running the rear-axle steering and ceramic brake package can fit the kit without touching either subsystem; the rear arch extensions clear the wider Speed rear-wheel arc, and the front splitter line clears PCCB caliper geometry.

2nd gen vs 3rd gen — why the two kits do not interchange

If your VIN puts your car between 2011 and 2018, you need the D2A kit, not this one. If your build date is late 2018 or later, you are on MSB and this is the right programme. The workshop confirms platform from the VIN before a single carbon panel goes into production — fitment is never guessed.

Build queue — ten steps from order to delivery

1. VIN submission. You send the chassis number plus engine variant (V8, W12 or W12 Speed), body style (GT or GTC) and any trim pack (Mulliner, Azure, S, Odyssean). VIN confirms MSB and flags model-year-specific differences.
2. Fitment cross-check. We check VIN against the kit master file, flag year-specific hardware variations, confirm Mulliner side-vent treatment if applicable.
3. Specification sign-off. You select carbon weave (1×1 plain, 2×2 twill, forged marbled), lacquer (gloss, satin, raw matte), visible-carbon vs body-colour split. Wheel and exhaust specs locked separately if bundled.
4. Forged wheel configuration. If included, we lock diameter (22 or 23 inch), offset and centre-bore to clear MSB brake hardware (ceramic PCCB callipers on Speed trim require specific offset window).
5. 50 per cent deposit. Cleared payment confirms the production slot. We issue a build-week date with delivery estimate.
6. Autoclave production. Bumpers, fenders and quarter panels are produced as one matched batch so weave alignment carries across all visible-carbon surfaces. Typical cycle: 6-10 weeks depending on finish complexity.
7. Pre-shipment fitment check. Bumpers and fenders test-mounted on a reference MSB Conti at the carbon shop. Gap measurements, splitter rake and arch radius confirmed. Full photo set sent to you for sign-off before crating.
8. Balance payment and crating. Cleared balance triggers packing. Custom foam profiles, soft-cloth panel wrap inside foam contact, climate-controlled crating for long-haul freight.
9. Insured door-to-door freight. Tracking, HS-coded customs paperwork in the destination country's preferred language, installer-language fitment manual included.
10. Installer fitment. Typically 3-5 working days at a Mansory-affiliated workshop, including paint match where applicable. We stay on call for any chassis-specific question during fitment.

Five cities where this kit gets fitted

London. The largest single-city density of 3rd-gen Continental GTs outside the Gulf. UK orders cluster in West London — Mayfair, Knightsbridge, the Surrey commuter belt — and the most-ordered configuration is the full carbon kit with 22-inch forged wheels in gloss or satin black. Air freight to Heathrow from production runs five to seven days; UK customs documentation is included as standard.

Dubai. The UAE market specifies the most aggressive build sheets — full kit plus forged wheels plus quad-exhaust, almost always W12 or W12 Speed, almost always in visible 2×2 twill carbon with body-colour fender top blends. Delivery to Jebel Ali Free Zone or direct-to-workshop in Al Quoz is routine. Ramadan lead times extend by approximately two weeks; build slots are held accordingly for UAE clients. For broader UAE market context, see our UAE wide-body and forged-wheel guide.

Monaco. Monégasque collectors run the Conti as a daily, which means the kit specification leans toward subtle: raw-matte carbon with body-colour fender extension blends, 22-inch forged wheels in graphite or anthracite, no quad-exhaust. The Monaco styling upgrade guide covers shipping into Fontvieille and the workshop side of Larvotto.

Geneva. Swiss orders typically specify clear lacquer over full-weave visible carbon, no body-colour split, with 22-inch forged wheels in graphite. Installation is handled by a single specialist workshop in canton Vaud we have worked with on multiple 3rd-gen Continental builds. Air freight to Geneva Airport runs five to seven days from dispatch.

Hong Kong. HK owners run a tight street network, so forged 22-inch is the default (23-inch is too tall for ramp clearance in most Mid-Levels garages). Raw-matte finish is preferred to mute visual width on narrow roads. The Hong Kong wide-body and forged-wheel guide covers the local logistics in detail.

FAQ — Mansory body kit for 3rd-gen Bentley Continental GT

Will this kit fit a 2nd-gen (D2A, 2011-2018) Continental GT?
No. The 2nd-gen Conti is on the D2A platform — different wheelbase, different rear track, different bumper crash structure, different arch hardpoints. This product is cut for the MSB 2018+ car only. We carry a separate Mansory programme for the D2A car — contact us for the D2A spec sheet if your VIN is pre-2018.

Does the kit work on both V8 and W12 cars?
Yes. One programme covers both engines and the Speed. Bumper cooling intakes and bonnet vent geometry are sized to the W12 thermal pack, so W12 cars get exact-fit clearance and V8 cars get generous extra airflow. No engine-specific variant is needed.

Does it fit both the GT coupe and the GTC convertible?
Both, but with body-specific rear arches and a body-specific rear-deck treatment (coupe gets a boot spoiler, convertible gets a roof-edge gurney). Specify GT or GTC at order time — the VIN confirms if you are unsure.

Does it fit the Speed, Mulliner, Azure, S and Odyssean trims?
Yes. MSB hardpoints do not change with trim level. The Speed's rear-axle steering and stiffer suspension calibration have no consequence at the body-panel level. Mulliner-trim owners who want the original side-vent re-mounted on the new wide fender can request the work at order stage.

What is the lead time on a 3rd-gen Continental GT kit right now?
Production runs 6-10 weeks from deposit clearance, depending on carbon weave, finish and whether you bundle forged wheels and exhaust. Bundled orders ship together on a single freight movement. Add five to seven days air freight to UK/EU/UAE destinations, ten to fourteen days sea to Asia-Pacific. Rush air to London, Geneva, Dubai or Singapore is available.

Do I need wheel spacers with this kit?
No. The wide-arch extensions are sized to the MSB 1640 mm rear track. Forged Mansory wheels sold alongside the kit are cut with the correct MSB offset, so spacers are not required. If you are running a third-party wheel package, send the offset spec at order stage and we will confirm clearance before anything ships.

What is the price of the Mansory Bentley Continental GT body kit?
Final price depends on carbon weave, finish, body-colour split, wheel and exhaust bundling, and destination market. Send a VIN plus your specification preferences and we return a fixed quote within one working day.

Can the kit be installed locally, or does the car need to ship to Mansory?
Installed locally. The kit ships to your installer with a full fitment manual cut to your installer's preferred language. Typical installation takes three to five working days including paint-match where applicable. We can recommend Mansory-affiliated workshops in London, Dubai, Geneva, Monaco, Hong Kong, Singapore, Amsterdam and Vienna on request.

What is the warranty on the carbon panels?
Carbon panels carry a structural warranty of two years from delivery against lay-up defects and lacquer-failure under normal use. The warranty does not cover collision damage or third-party paint refinishing. Full warranty documentation is included with the kit.
