Mirror Mansory Carbon for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone

Mirror Mansory Carbon for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone

The Mansory carbon mirror package for the Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone replaces the OEM gloss-painted mirror assemblies with full-carbon exterior shells, immediately signalling the presence of the Stallone widebody programme on the flanks of the naturally aspirated V12 GT. This universal mirror cover SKU wraps the mirror body in 3K twill carbon, forming the visible exterior shell over the OEM electrically adjusted mirror head. It is the most accessible exterior carbon upgrade in the Mansory Body Kit for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone and the natural starting point for owners introducing the Mansory carbon language to their 812 Superfast before committing to the full widebody kit. The 812 Superfast's large door mirrors — sized to meet modern rear-visibility regulations while complementing the long GT greenhouse — present a prominent surface on which the 3K weave is visible from both the driver's cockpit and from following traffic, giving the carbon finish maximum visual presence from multiple angles and in motion. Ferrari specifies the OEM mirror in a body-colour or gloss-black painted finish; Mansory's 3K twill replacement elevates this detail to match the engineering quality implied by the 789 hp naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 that occupies the long front bay.

Construction & Materials

The mirror carbon shell is a two-piece assembly: a main body cover wrapping the structural housing, and a lower chin strip extending the carbon surface to the mirror mounting point. Both pieces are autoclave-cured pre-preg 3K twill, with a multi-ply lay-up at the leading edge — the highest aero-load zone — to prevent resonant vibration at motorway speeds. The clear lacquer is applied in four coats over a UV-stabilised primer, resisting yellowing from prolonged solar exposure. Pre-preg material sourcing matches the rest of the Stallone programme, ensuring weave batch consistency if the mirror covers are ordered alongside body panels.

• Weave: 3K twill on all visible surfaces

• Finish: high-gloss clear lacquer with UV-stabilised primer; satin option available
• Electrical compatibility: full compatibility with OEM heated/folding mirror mechanism
• Supplied as a matched pair, weave-batch matched for consistent chevron pattern

Design & Visual Function

The mirror body is one of the most aerodynamically refined surfaces on the 812 Superfast, designed in Ferrari's wind tunnel to minimise drag and acoustic signature at speed. Mansory's carbon shell maintains the OEM aerodynamic profile exactly, introducing no additional drag through surface discontinuities. The 3K twill weave oriented at 45° to the mirror long axis creates a diamond chevron pattern that widens toward the rear of the housing — an aesthetic that visually accelerates the 812 Superfast's rearward-tapering GT body, visible from the front, side, and rear three-quarter approach angles simultaneously.

The leading edge multi-ply reinforcement reduces the micro-flexion that occurs on painted plastic mirror housings under dynamic pressure at motorway speeds. This flexion, while small, introduces minute oscillations in the mirror glass that can slightly blur rearward visibility — the stiffer carbon shell eliminates this effect, delivering a crisper mirror image at 200+ km/h than the OEM housing. This is a genuine functional benefit of carbon over painted ABS/polycarbonate, particularly relevant for drivers who use mirrors actively rather than relying on proximity sensors on the 812 Superfast's complex rear-quarter geometry.

The generic mirror SKU (this listing) is the universal mirror body shell, covering both sides on pre-2020 812 Superfast builds and the passenger side on 2020+ cars. For 2020+ cars requiring the driver-side housing replacement or cover, see the LHD-specific housing and new housing listings. The universal cover is the starting point for owners specifying a carbon mirror upgrade without needing to commit to the full housing swap procedure that requires partial door-card removal.

Compatibility & Fitment

Compatible with the Ferrari 812 Superfast (F140 V12 GT, naturally aspirated, RWD, 2017–2022). The cover clips over the OEM housing without removing glass or electronics. LHD and RHD cars share the same external mirror cover geometry — the shell wraps the housing symmetrically. This universal cover differs from the LHD-specific housing parts (mirror-lhd-housing-2020, new-mirror-lhd-housing-2020), which replace the entire housing structure and are orientation-specific for 2020+ cars. The 812 GTS convertible shares the same door mirror housing profile as the coupe and is also compatible with this cover.

Installation & Reversibility

The mirror carbon cover is the fastest Stallone fitment: the OEM cover clips off from the rear using a plastic trim tool to release three spring-clips — insert the tool into the rear gap at the housing-to-door mount and work forward along the perimeter. Allow 12–18 minutes per side to avoid clip breakage. The Mansory carbon cover snaps directly onto the same clip positions and seats flush. No disassembly of mirror glass, heating element, or folding mechanism is required. Fully reversible — OEM cover refits in under 10 minutes. A Mansory-authorised installer is recommended to prevent scratches to adjacent door paint during clip-release.

Pairing within the Mansory 812 Superfast Stallone programme

The generic mirror cover coordinates naturally with the LHD-specific parts: the mirror LHD cover (2020+) and the mirror LHD housing (2020+) address the driver-side cover and full housing for 2020-onwards cars. For a cohesive interior-exterior carbon statement at the hand-contact zone, pair with the outer door handle, extending the carbon language from the mirror down to the door-pull surface in the owner's eyeline as they approach the car.

Maintenance & Durability

Mirror housings experience significant aerodynamic vibration and UV exposure at their position on the door leading face. Apply a ceramic coat to the clear lacquer at installation, renewing every 3 months. Clean weekly with pH-neutral shampoo using a soft microfibre cloth — avoid glass cleaner on the mirror housing, as ammonia-based formulations attack the lacquer boundary at the clip seam and can cause lifting. Inspect the clip seam at the rear of the housing annually for any gap allowing moisture ingress. Road grime on the mirror underside rib can trap moisture against the lacquer edge — rinse this zone specifically after wet-weather driving. The UV-stabilised primer addresses the elevated exposure at the mirror position relative to lower body panels. Lacquer life expectancy is 8–12 years with consistent ceramic maintenance and no physical impact damage from road debris.

Lead Time & Warranty

Mirror covers are typically available in 1–2 weeks. Ordering alongside front fender or side panel parts allows Mansory to batch the autoclave run and ensure weave lot consistency. Covered by Mansory's 12-month warranty against delamination and clip-mount failure under normal road conditions.

FAQ

Q: Is this a cover over the OEM housing or a complete housing replacement?
A: This is a cover — it clips over the existing OEM mirror housing, retaining all OEM electrical, heating, and folding functions intact. For a complete housing replacement on 2020+ LHD cars, see the LHD housing or new LHD housing listings in the Stallone programme.

Q: Will this fit both pre-2020 and post-2020 812 Superfast builds?
A: The universal cover fits the pre-2020 mirror housing geometry on all 2017–2019 cars and both sides of 2020+ cars where orientation-specific covers are not required. Post-2020 driver-side housings have revised internal geometry addressed by the dedicated LHD housing SKUs — the cover exterior geometry is compatible with both housing generations.

Q: Does installing this cover affect the mirror glass adjustment range?
A: No — the cover clips over the housing without touching the mirror glass carrier or adjustment mechanism. Full range of electrical adjustment, heating, and auto-folding is preserved with no change to the adjustment geometry or range of motion.

Q: Can I order the mirror cover in a satin finish to match a matte body wrap?
A: Yes — satin clear lacquer is available on request at order time. Satin lacquer requires maintenance with a matte-specific ceramic spray; conventional waxes leave a sheen on satin surfaces and should be avoided entirely.

Q: How do I protect against stone chips on the mirror leading face?
A: A custom-cut paint-protection film (PPF) strip on the leading 30 mm of the mirror housing combined with ceramic coat on the remaining surface provides optimal protection for the two highest-impact zones on the mirror body during normal road and motorway use.
