Mirror LHD cover for GTS Mansory Carbon for Ferrari 812 Stallone V2

Mirror LHD Cover for GTS — Mansory Carbon for Ferrari 812 Stallone V2

The Mirror LHD Cover for GTS is the cap-only carbon overlay inside the Mansory Stallone V2 carbon programme for the Ferrari 812. It is the lowest-effort, fully reversible entry point into the mirror carbon family: only the visible upper cap of the OEM door mirror is exchanged for a Mansory-pattern carbon shell, while the housing core, motor, heating element, folding mechanism and signal lens all remain factory. The mould is cut for left-hand-drive cars only — the 812 mirror geometry differs side-to-side, and a dedicated LHD-spec part keeps the weave, edge radii and gap to the housing correct on the driver's side. Within the V2 catalogue this cap sits alongside the bolder full-replacement options, the Mirror LHD Housing for GTS and the new Mirror LHD Housing for GTS, and serves the owner who wants the carbon look without committing to a full housing swap.

Construction & Materials

Each cap is laminated from aerospace-grade twill prepreg carbon fibre with a continuous outer ply oriented to align with the rest of the Mansory door-line carbon — door handles, side skirts and side panels. Cure is performed under elevated pressure in a heated mould, producing a void-free laminate with consistent fibre fraction and no resin pooling at the edges. Wall thickness is held tight so the cap clips back over the OEM upper without disturbing motor travel, fold geometry or the signal-lens cut-out. Fibre direction is set deliberately: the dominant twill axis follows the airflow line off the A-pillar, so the weave reads as a continuation of the bodywork rather than a bolt-on accessory.

Surface finish is the Mansory house specification — a UV-stabilised clear lacquer system applied in multiple wet coats, flatted between layers and finished to a deep gloss. Edges are wrapped, never chamfered through the weave, so no white core is exposed where the cap meets the lower housing or the glass surround. A satin/matte finish is available on request for owners pairing the mirrors with a softer overall body texture. Each cap is inspected under raking light for weave alignment, hairline porosity and gloss continuity before it leaves the line.

Design & Visual Function

The cap-only approach is a deliberate trade-off. A full housing swap, as offered by the LHD housing parts, replaces the entire mirror shell — bolder presence, larger carbon area, but a longer install with the motor and wiring exposed during the swap. The cap-only cover keeps the OEM lower housing untouched: only the upper shell is changed, the carbon area is smaller, and the perceived volume of the mirror stays factory. For owners who want the carbon language to read across the door line without altering the silhouette of the mirror, the cap is the right choice; for owners who want the mirrors to become a visual statement in their own right, the housing parts are the better answer.

Weave alignment is set against the rest of the door-line carbon. The twill on the cap continues the diagonal of the Mansory side skirts and side panels, so when the door is viewed from a three-quarter angle the carbon reads as a single continuous run from sill to mirror. Owners pairing the cap with the outer door handle in Mansory carbon get a complete carbon door treatment without touching the panels themselves.

All OEM electronics remain functional. The integrated LED side-repeater is unobstructed; heating, electric folding and electric adjustment work exactly as factory because the cap does not touch the motor or wiring. The cap is shaped strictly to the LHD mirror — RHD-market 812 owners need the RHD-spec part, which is moulded on a different tool to match the mirrored geometry on the passenger-side housing.

Compatibility & Fitment

The cap is engineered for the Ferrari 812 Stallone V2 programme — both the Coupé and the GTS Spider — using the OEM mirror geometry as the master surface. Critically, this is an LHD-spec part: it fits the driver-side mirror on left-hand-drive cars. RHD-market cars use a different mirror mould and require the RHD-spec equivalent; fitting an LHD cap on an RHD mirror will leave visible gap-line and trailing-edge mismatch. The cap is not engineered for and will not fit the Ferrari 488, F8 Tributo or 296 — those cars use entirely different mirror housings. The donor car is the Ferrari 812 with its 6.5-litre F140 GA naturally aspirated V12, 800 PS at high crank speed, F1 transaxle and front-mid layout; the Stallone V2 carbon programme is built specifically around this platform and no other.

OEM motors, sensors and lenses are retained. Heating element, electric fold, electric adjustment, side-repeater LED and any blind-spot indication continue to operate exactly as before — the cap is non-electronic and adds no wiring. Glass and the lower housing are untouched.

Installation & Reversibility

Install is one of the most accessible in the V2 programme. The OEM upper cap releases from the housing via factory clips; the carbon replacement seats on the same locating points and clicks into place. A trim release tool and patience around the signal-lens cut-out are the only specialist requirements. Realistic time on the bench is twenty to forty minutes for the side, depending on whether the original cap releases cleanly. The job is fully reversible — the OEM cap can be refitted at any time with no trace of the swap, which makes this part attractive to lease and concours owners. No coding, no calibration, no panel removal, no door-card disturbance.

Pairing within the Mansory Stallone V2 programme

The mirror cap reads strongest when the door line is treated as a single carbon surface. Direct cross-pairings:

• Outer door handle in Mansory carbon — completes the door-line carbon between mirror and sill.
• Side skirts in Mansory carbon — drops the carbon line down to the rocker.
• Side panels in Mansory carbon — extends the weave aft of the door for a continuous lateral run.

Owners who want a bolder mirror statement can step up from the cap to the full housing replacements: the Mirror LHD Housing for GTS swaps the entire shell for carbon, and the new Mirror LHD Housing for GTS is the revised tool with refreshed weave geometry. Both replace the full mirror housing rather than only the cap.

Maintenance & Durability

Routine care is identical to any high-grade clear-coated carbon panel. Wash with pH-neutral shampoo, dry with a plush microfibre, and avoid automated tunnel washes whose brushes can micro-mar the lacquer over time. A non-abrasive carnauba wax or a silica-based sealant maintains gloss depth and UV protection; ceramic coating is fully compatible and recommended for owners running the car year-round. Iron-fallout removers and tar removers are safe in normal dilution but should not be left to dwell. Keep solvent-based wheel cleaners and brake-dust acids well away from the cap. Stone-chip risk is low because the cap sits high on the mirror; for owners using the car heavily on motorways, a self-healing PPF film over the leading edge of the cap is sensible.

Lead Time & Warranty

Stock status varies — the cap is moulded in batches alongside the door-handle and side-panel runs. When held in inventory, dispatch is within three to five business days; when made-to-order, lead time is typically three to six weeks from confirmation. The laminate carries a twelve-month warranty against delamination, lacquer failure under correct care and visible weave defects. Sea, air and bonded-courier shipping are arranged from our European hub with full tracking and insured handover; you will be sent dispatch documentation and ETA the day the cap leaves the warehouse.

FAQ

Cap-only or full housing — which should I pick? If you want the door line to read as continuous carbon while keeping the mirror silhouette factory, the cap is correct. If you want the mirrors themselves to become a visual statement, choose one of the LHD housing parts instead. The cap installs faster, costs less, and is fully reversible.

I have a right-hand-drive 812 — does this fit? No. This cap is moulded for the LHD mirror geometry on the driver's side. RHD-market 812s use a mirrored housing that requires the RHD-spec part. Fitting the wrong side will leave visible mismatch at the housing seam and trailing edge.

Can I install it myself? Yes — owners with basic trim-tool experience routinely fit the cap on the bench in twenty to forty minutes per side. There is no wiring, no coding, no calibration. Take care releasing the OEM clips around the signal-lens cut-out.

Will my heated mirrors, electric fold and signal still work? Yes — the cap is non-electronic and does not touch the motor, the heating element, the fold mechanism or the side-repeater LED. Every OEM mirror function is retained.

How is the finish — gloss only? Gloss is the default Mansory specification. A satin/matte clear is available on request and is matched to the same weave alignment, so the cap will still read continuously against gloss carbon elsewhere on the door line if you choose to mix finishes.
