Passenger foot rest Mansory for Ferrari 296 GTB

Mansory Passenger Foot Rest — Ferrari 296 GTB Cabin Detail

The Mansory Passenger Foot Rest for Ferrari 296 GTB is the passenger-side counterpart to the driver foot rest in Mansory's cabin performance-detail programme on the F171 platform. It is a brushed-aluminium plate, finished with rubberised raised-rib grip pads, that fits over the passenger-side foot-well floor area where the passenger's feet rest in normal seating. As a part of the wider Mansory Carbon Fiber Body Kit Set for Ferrari 296 GTB, this is the part that mirrors the driver-side foot rest and signs the cabin as a coherent bespoke set on both sides.

Why specify the passenger foot rest at all

The passenger-side foot well on the 296 GTB does not have a structural dead pedal — the passenger places their feet on the carpeted floor area in normal use. The Mansory passenger foot rest replaces that visible carpeted area with the same brushed-aluminium plate and rubberised raised-rib treatment as the driver's foot rest. The functional benefit is small: the rubberised grip helps the passenger anchor their feet during spirited driving, particularly in left-foot-out positions on right-hand corners. The visual benefit is decisive: the passenger-side foot well reads as part of the coordinated bespoke cabin rather than as a piece of OEM carpet under the otherwise upgraded surroundings.

Build and dimensions

• Plate: 6082-T6 aluminium, brushed finish, 4 mm thickness
• Plate footprint: dimensioned for the OEM passenger foot-well floor area, ~340 × 240 mm
• Grip surface: 6 × rubberised raised-rib pads, vulcanised black rubber, 3 mm proud — larger contact area than the driver-side pad set
• Edge: 0.8 mm radiused edge, hand-polished
• Mount: structural-acrylic perimeter bond to the OEM carpet underlay (no drilling)
• Optional: Mansory wordmark laser-etched into the upper face

Install procedure

Installation is simpler than the driver-side foot rest because there is no OEM dead-pedal mounting to interface with. The passenger-side OEM carpet area is cleaned with isopropyl, the structural-acrylic adhesive is applied to the perimeter of the new Mansory plate, and the plate is bonded into position. The plate is supplied with light tack-down weights to keep it positioned during the 24-hour cure window. After the cure window, the bond is fully load-bearing for the passenger's foot weight, including hard-cornering load transfer.

Why no through-bolt mounting

The mounting choice for the passenger-side foot rest is structural-acrylic perimeter bond rather than through-bolt fastening. The reasoning is engineering: the passenger-side foot well does not have an OEM dead-pedal mounting frame or any structural backing, so any through-bolt fixing would have to pass through the OEM carpet, the underlying acoustic underlay, and into the body shell sheet metal beneath. Drilling through OEM body sheet metal is not a reversible operation, would void any rust-warranty considerations on the floor pan, and risks contact with wiring loom routing that runs beneath the carpet underlay. Structural-acrylic bonding to the OEM carpet is fully load-bearing for foot weight and lateral cornering loads, requires no irreversible body modification, and can be reversed (with effort) if the OEM carpet appearance ever needs to be reinstated.

Coordination with Mansory floor mats

The passenger-side Mansory floor mat is dimensioned to overlay the passenger foot rest with a small intentional gap at the rear edge of the rest, so the brushed-aluminium plate is partially visible at the rear of the foot well even with the floor mat in position. This is a deliberate design coordination: the foot rest and the floor mat are visually layered rather than competing for the same surface. Owners specifying both at first commission will see this layering as designed; owners adding the foot rest after the floor mats are in place will need to confirm the floor-mat dimensions match the design coordination — which is the case for all post-2024 Mansory floor mat orders for the 296 GTB.

Should both passenger and driver foot rests be specified together?

The visual case for specifying the matched pair is decisive. A 296 GTB cabin upgraded with the driver-side foot rest, but with the passenger-side foot well left as OEM carpet, reads as visually inconsistent at the foot-well level. The two SKUs are sold separately to allow buyers to start with one and add the other later, but the typical order pattern is the matched pair specified together at first commission. The price differential of adding the passenger side to a driver-only order is small relative to the visual coherence gain.

FAQ

Q: Does this work with both LHD and RHD?
A: Yes. The passenger-side foot well is dimensionally identical between LHD and RHD on the 296 GTB; the same plate fits either.

Q: Does the bond hold under hard-cornering load transfer?
A: Yes. The structural-acrylic perimeter bond is rated to multi-G lateral load. The OEM carpet underlay provides the bonding substrate.

Q: Can the rubber grip pads be removed for a smoother visual finish?
A: The grip pads can be specified as flush-set rather than 3 mm proud, on quote. The visual change is small; the functional change is meaningful — flush pads have less grip.

Q: What if the passenger floor mat already covers this area?
A: The Mansory floor mats are dimensioned to sit over the passenger foot rest cleanly. The two coexist.

Q: Lead time?
A: 3-4 weeks.
