New Mirror LHD housing for cars from 2020 Mansory for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone

New Mirror LHD Housing 2020 Mansory Carbon for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone

The Mansory new mirror LHD housing for 2020+ Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone is the revised-tooling successor to the original LHD housing (2020+), addressing two fitment refinements incorporated following initial production feedback on 2020-revision 812 Superfast cars. This full structural housing replacement — listed within the Mansory Body Kit for Ferrari 812 Superfast Stallone — provides a complete carbon exterior for the LHD driver-side mirror, from stalk base to mirror top, in a single seamless 3K twill body. The primary geometry updates versus the first LHD housing variant are: a 1.2 mm inward adjustment of the stalk junction upper flange to close the interface gap at the door mounting surface on late-2021 and 2022 builds, and a 2 mm tighter rear-corner radius that improves panel-gap consistency with the door glass sealing strip. Owners of 2021–2022 LHD 812 Superfast cars should specify this new housing variant to achieve the tightest door-mirror interface fit currently available in the Stallone programme. On a naturally aspirated 812 Superfast where mechanical refinement pervades every system — the F140 GA V12 with its 8,500 rpm atmospheric redline, the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the electrohydraulic rear-wheel steering — the same standard of fitment precision should extend to every visible carbon interface, including the housing-to-door junction at the mirror stalk base.

Construction & Materials

The new LHD housing uses identical pre-preg specification to the original LHD housing (2020+), with mould geometry updated to reflect the two fitment refinements. The stalk junction adapter's UD carbon ply count is increased from six to eight in the new tooling, providing additional resistance to peel stress at the housing-to-stalk bolt interface under repeated mirror fold cycling — a fatigue failure mode identified in the original housing after high-mileage fleet evaluation of 812 Superfast track cars. The exterior face layup is unchanged: 3K twill pre-preg, autoclave-cured, four clear lacquer coats over UV-stabilised base.

• Weave: 3K twill on exterior; 8-ply UD at stalk junction (revised from 6-ply in original)
• Cure: autoclave at 120 °C / 6 bar
• Wall thickness: 2.0–2.4 mm housing body; 4.8 mm at revised stalk junction
• Weight: approx. 0.39 kg (marginally heavier due to additional UD ply at junction)
• Mounting: OEM 4 × M6 stalk bolt pattern (identical to original LHD housing)
• Finish: high-gloss clear lacquer; satin available on request
• Orientation: LHD driver-side, 2020+ specific, revised tooling generation

Design & Visual Function

Externally, the new LHD housing is visually identical to the original LHD housing (2020+) — same 3K twill surface, same 45° weave orientation, same mirror body silhouette maintaining OEM aerodynamic profile. The difference is in the door interface: the 1.2 mm stalk junction adjustment eliminates the hairline gap that could be visible between the housing base and door surface on late-production 812 Superfast cars with tighter body tolerances. This gap elimination presents a flush butt-joint from housing carbon to door metal that reads as factory-installed at all examination angles including cross-light photography.

The revised rear-corner radius — approximately 2 mm tighter than the original — aligns precisely with the profile of the door glass seal channel on 2021–2022 production cars where the OEM door glass rubber is particularly full. On the original housing this zone could show a hairline gap in direct sunlight; the new housing eliminates this. These are detail-level refinements apparent only in high-resolution photography and at close inspection range, but they are the type of fitment precision that concours-oriented 812 Superfast owners specifically seek in a Mansory upgrade and that professional car photographers notice in their work.

Like the original LHD housing, the new housing presents a seam-free carbon surface — the 3K twill runs continuously from the stalk base around the housing perimeter without a visible clip-line. The weave matches all other Stallone carbon panels in chevron orientation, ensuring visual coherence of the full kit at the door-mirror junction from all exterior approach angles.

Compatibility & Fitment

For LHD Ferrari 812 Superfast (F140-platform, naturally aspirated V12, RWD) produced from 2020 onwards. Preferred for 2021–2022 builds where tighter body tolerances are best matched by the revised stalk junction geometry. Pre-2020 cars have a different housing mounting and must use the universal mirror cover. Not compatible with the 812 GTS. Driver-side (left) LHD only. For 2020 builds, either the original or new LHD housing fits — the new housing is recommended for the updated stalk joint reinforcement benefit regardless of build year within the 2020–2022 range.

Installation & Reversibility

Identical procedure to the original LHD housing: remove mirror glass, disconnect fold actuator and heating wiring, unbolt four M6 stalk bolts, fit Mansory housing, reconnect wiring, refit glass. Allow 45–60 minutes. The revised stalk junction requires careful alignment to the door surface to achieve the designed flush fit — a Mansory-trained installer is recommended, particularly for late-production cars with the tightest door-mirror tolerance. Fully reversible; retain OEM housing for reinstatement if required.

Pairing within the Mansory 812 Superfast Stallone programme

As the current tooling revision, this housing pairs with the mirror LHD cover (2020+) for owners who want both housing and cover in carbon — though the housing already provides the full seam-free exterior surface. The outer door handle extends the Stallone carbon identity along the door below the mirror. The mirror LHD housing (2020+) is the original tooling variant for legacy order configurations.

Maintenance & Durability

Maintenance protocol matches the original LHD housing: ceramic coat at installation, renewed every 3 months; pH-neutral weekly wash; stalk junction gap inspection annually for moisture ingress. The additional UD ply count at the stalk junction improves long-term resistance to micro-cracking under repeated fold cycling and road vibration. Apply a flexible lacquer sealant to the housing-to-door interface gap after installation to prevent water ingress. Lacquer life 8–12 years with consistent UV protection and ceramic coat renewal every 3 months without exception.

Lead Time & Warranty

Lead time 2–3 weeks. As the current production version, the new LHD housing typically has shorter lead times than the original variant. Covered by Mansory's 12-month warranty against delamination, stalk-junction failure, and wiring loom channel integrity under normal road use.

FAQ

Q: Should I order this or the original LHD housing (2020+) for my 2021 812 Superfast?
A: The new housing is recommended for 2021–2022 builds due to the revised stalk junction geometry that better matches the tighter body tolerances of late-production cars. For 2020 builds, either variant fits; the new housing is preferred for the updated stalk reinforcement regardless of build year within the 2020–2022 range.

Q: Is there any visible difference between the new housing and the original LHD housing when fitted?
A: The external carbon surface is visually identical in appearance — same 3K twill and lacquer sheen. The difference is in the door-interface gap and the stalk rear-corner radius, apparent only on close inspection or in high-resolution photography of the housing base zone where it meets the door surface.

Q: Does the new housing affect the mirror fold-speed or travel arc?
A: No — the fold actuator mounting geometry is unchanged between the two housing variants. Fold speed, travel arc, and auto-fold settings remain identical to OEM specification in both cases.

Q: Can I mix the new LHD housing on the driver side with the original LHD housing on the passenger side?
A: From a fitment standpoint yes — they share the same stalk bolt pattern. Both present the same exterior carbon surface, so mixing variants is not visually detectable from outside the car at normal viewing distances or in standard photography.

Q: Is this housing certified for road use in markets where the 812 Superfast is sold?
A: Mansory carbon exterior parts are produced to quality standards compatible with international road use. Compliance with specific national homologation requirements for exterior mirror dimensions is the responsibility of the installing body shop. Consult your Mansory-authorised installer for market-specific regulatory guidance before fitting.
