Race flaps for car with front assistant Mansory for Lamborghini Urus Venatus
Race Flaps for Cars with Front-Assistant — Mansory for Lamborghini Urus Venatus
This is the radar-aware variant of the Mansory front race-flap pair, supplied as part of the Mansory Body Kit for Lamborghini Urus Venatus S. The carbon canard pair sits on the lower outer corners of the Urus front bumper exactly like the standard race-flap, but the geometry has been cut and relieved so the centre lower-bumper radar field stays unobstructed. If your Urus carries front-assistant — the radar-fed bundle behind adaptive cruise control, collision warning and emergency braking — this is the race-flap geometry you specify, because the standard variant intrudes into the radar cone and can confuse the sensor. Visually it reads as a Mansory-spec canard on the Y-DRL Urus mask; functionally it leaves the OEM driver-assistance stack working exactly as Lamborghini intended on the twin-turbo super-SUV.
Construction & Materials
Each flap is a single-shot autoclave moulding in twill carbon, designed to mate the OEM Lamborghini bumper corner without trimming the painted panel. The radar-clearance cut is part of the tool, not an aftermarket grind on the standard part — surface finish and edge quality are identical to the rest of the front-end carbon.
- Pair of front canards (left + right), supplied as a matched set
- Combined weight ~1.0–1.6 kg dry, depending on lacquer build
- 3K twill prepreg, autoclave-cured under heat and pressure for full void-free consolidation
- Wall thickness 2.0–2.6 mm with locally reinforced mounting flange
- Radar-cone relief profile cut into the inner edge so the centre lower-bumper sensor stays inside its design field
- OEM bumper-corner mounting points reused — bonded with structural carbon-grade adhesive plus mechanical clip retention
- Mansory deep-gloss UV-stabilised lacquer over visible weave; matched to neighbouring Mansory front-lip and bonnet carbon
- Edge-sealed laminate to resist stone impact and moisture wicking at the leading edge
Design & Visual Function
A canard on a super-SUV is doing three things at once. First, it generates a small but real downforce wedge at the front axle, which on a 2.2-tonne Urus running the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 helps settle the nose at the speeds where adaptive air-suspension lowers the ride height. Second, it manages the airflow around the front wheel-arch, helping brake-cooling on hard Corsa-mode laps. Third, it visually finishes the lower outer corner of the bumper, locking the Mansory front-end into the same aggressive language as the front-bonnet II carbon and the EVO splitter family.
The race-flap matrix on the Mansory Urus Venatus programme is genuinely a three-way choice, and getting it right depends on what your car was specified with. The standard race-flaps-carbon are the original geometry — full canard span, no radar relief — and they are the right answer for cars built without front-assistant or with the radar deleted. This variant, race-flaps for cars with front-assistant, is the same canard concept but with the inner geometry cleared so adaptive cruise and collision warning continue to operate. The newer EVO race-flaps for front lip sit further forward on the EVO-spec front lip rather than on the bumper corner, so they answer a different generation of front-end and are not a like-for-like swap. Pick this part if your Urus has front-assistant — common on Urus S and Urus Performante from MY2022 onward and an option on many MY2018+ cars.
How to tell at a glance: look at the centre of the lower bumper. A small rectangular radar grille or a body-coloured radar window between the lower intake and the licence-plate plinth means the car is front-assist equipped. If you can read adaptive cruise control as an active button on the steering wheel and the cluster shows a vehicle-ahead icon, you are front-assist. Specifying the standard race-flap on a front-assist car is the common cause of a phantom "driver assistance unavailable" warning after a body kit install — this part is the fix.
Compatibility & Fitment
Lamborghini Urus, Urus S and Urus Performante (2018–present) with front-assistant radar / adaptive cruise / collision warning. The clearance cut is dimensioned around the OEM radar cone, so the sensor sees its full design field and Lamborghini's driver-assistance ECU does not throw a fault. OEM Lamborghini parking sensors, rear-wheel-steering geometry and adaptive air-suspension self-levelling are unaffected. Six driving modes — Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sabbia, Terra, Neve — operate as standard. Urus does not run an active aero ride-height shutter on the front canard, so there is no electrical splice and no calibration step beyond what the OEM bumper already sees.
Installation & Reversibility
Bench time is 1.5–2.5 hours including dry-fit and final torque-down. The flaps locate on the OEM bumper-corner geometry, with structural adhesive on the mating face and mechanical clip retention into the existing bumper webs. We recommend installation by a Lamborghini-certified body shop or a Mansory-trained installer — not because the part is hard, but because correctly preparing the bumper face for adhesive on a coachbuilt finish is what guarantees a long-term bond. Removal is fully reversible: the flaps come off without damaging the OEM bumper, and any residual adhesive cleans off the painted face with mild solvent. Ride-height calibration, parking-sensor calibration and front-assistant calibration are not required after fitment, because the radar field has been preserved by design.
Pairing within the Mansory Urus Venatus programme
This part lives inside a deliberate matrix and is best specified with the front-of-car carbon that surrounds it. The two siblings you have to be aware of for the matrix are race-flaps-carbon (the standard geometry, for cars without front-assistant) and EVO race-flaps for front lip (the newer EVO geometry that mounts on the front lip rather than the bumper corner). Visually pair this radar-aware canard with the front-bonnet II carbon for a fully resolved Mansory front end on a Y-DRL Urus mask.
Maintenance & Durability
The leading edge of a front canard is a high rock-chip zone — the part sits low, forward and outboard, exactly where road debris launches off the front tyre at speed. We strongly recommend a clear paint-protection film over the leading edge and the upper face after installation; a 200-micron PPF over lacquered carbon is invisible from two metres and turns a permanent stone-strike scar into a peel-and-replace consumable. For routine washing, work pH-neutral shampoo and a clean lambswool mitt; avoid alkaline traffic-film removers, ammonia-based glass cleaners drifting onto the lacquer, and any abrasive sponge or scouring pad. A ceramic coating on the lacquer is an excellent long-term play — typical 18–24 month durability on a regularly-washed car — and gives you a sacrificial layer above the UV-stable lacquer. If a flap is impact-damaged, the carbon laminate is repairable by a competent composites shop: localised re-lay and re-lacquer is cheaper and quicker than a full replacement.
Lead Time & Warranty
Mansory builds the Urus Venatus carbon programme to order. Lead time on this race-flap pair is typically 4–8 weeks from confirmed order; we will give a firmer date at order intake based on the current Mansory production slot. The pair carries Mansory's 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on weave, cure and finish.
FAQ
Q: Is the front-assistant radar function fully preserved after fitment?
A: Yes — that is the entire point of this variant. The geometry has been cut around the OEM radar cone so adaptive cruise control, collision warning and emergency braking continue to operate exactly as Lamborghini calibrated them.
Q: How do I know whether my Urus has front-assistant?
A: Easiest visual check is the centre of the lower bumper — a small radar grille or body-coloured radar window between the lower intake and the licence plate means the car is front-assist equipped. From the cabin, an active adaptive-cruise button on the steering wheel and a vehicle-ahead icon in the cluster confirm it. Front-assistant is standard on Urus S and Urus Performante from MY2022, and a frequent option on earlier Urus cars.
Q: What is the difference between this part and the EVO race-flaps for front lip?
A: The EVO race-flaps mount on the EVO-spec front lip rather than on the bumper corner, so they belong to a different generation of front-end. They are not a like-for-like substitute. If your front bumper is the standard Mansory geometry with bumper-corner canards, this radar-aware variant is the correct answer. The EVO part is for cars running the EVO front lip.
Q: Will fitment trigger a driver-assistance fault on the dashboard?
A: No. The radar relief is dimensioned around the OEM cone, so the sensor sees its full design field and the ECU does not throw a "driver assistance unavailable" warning. That warning is the classic symptom of fitting the standard race-flap on a front-assist car, and is exactly what this variant exists to avoid.
Q: A stone has chipped the leading edge. Is the laminate repairable?
A: Yes. A competent composites shop can localise the damage, re-lay the affected area and re-lacquer; the result is invisible from a normal viewing distance. PPF over the leading edge from day one is the cheapest insurance.
