Black lamels grill Mansory for Bentley Bentayga

Mansory Black Lamels Grill — Bentley Bentayga

The Mansory Black Lamels Grill transforms the front-end of your Bentley Bentayga with a sophisticated horizontal-slat carbon-fiber assembly. This high-visibility styling upgrade replaces the OEM mesh grille with a contemporary, motorsport-inspired design that complements the complete Mansory Carbon Fiber Widebody kit set for Bentley Bentayga carbon programme.

Carbon-Fiber Construction & Finish

Each horizontal lamella is meticulously hand-laid using 3K twill-weave visible carbon, autoclave-cured under precise temperature and pressure profiles to maximize structural density and resin saturation. The glossy UV-stable lacquer finish reveals the full depth of the carbon pattern, creating a striking visual effect under natural and artificial light. Unlike painted or anodized alternatives, the black carbon weave itself provides the color—no paint layer to chip or fade. Weight reduction over OEM mesh is minimal (±200g), but the aerodynamic stability improves due to the uniform slat geometry and reduced turbulence behind the front bumper. The lamels are spaced at 18mm intervals, optimized for brake cooling airflow while maintaining structural rigidity at highway speeds.

Design & Aerodynamic Function

Mansory's horizontal-slat geometry serves dual purposes: aesthetic refinement and thermal management. The slats guide incoming airflow toward the radiator core with minimal flow separation, reducing air pressure drop compared to the OEM mesh. For high-speed driving and track use, this design reduces under-hood temperatures by an estimated 3–5°C compared to standard Bentayga models. The lamella assembly mounts directly to the OEM front-bumper frame—no modifications to body panels or crash-structure required. Installation involves unclipping the OEM grille and fastening the Mansory assembly via 8 stainless-steel anchor points. Removal and reinstallation are fully reversible, preserving OEM geometry underneath.

Compatibility — Bentayga First-Generation & Facelift

The Black Lamels Grill fits all Bentley Bentayga variants from 2015 onwards: the original W12-powered 2015–2019 first-generation models (W12 6.0L twin-turbo, V8 4.0L twin-turbo, Hybrid), the 2020 facelift (revised front-end styling, LED matrix headlights), and the Speed and EWB (Extended Wheelbase) variants. Because Mansory designed this component to work with the revised 2020 front bumper geometry and the earlier 2015–2019 bumper equally, fitment is universal across all early and late Bentayga generations. Installation time is approximately 45 minutes for an experienced technician; no special tools beyond a standard socket set and trim-removal picks are required.

Pairing with the Mansory Bentayga Programme

The Black Lamels Grill is one of five grille-and-trim components in the Mansory Bentayga carbon ecosystem. Pair with the Chrome Lamels Grill for contrast styling, the Front Grill Mask for integrated aerodynamic enhancement, or the full carbon widebody kit (bumper add-ons, side skirts, roof spoiler, rear diffuser, engine bonnet) for a cohesive visual transformation. Owners often combine this grill with the parent kit's front-bumper extensions to create a seamless front-end design language.

Material Durability & Maintenance

Visible-carbon construction is not delicate—it withstands road salt, road-grit impacts, and UV exposure far better than painted alternatives. The autoclave-cured epoxy matrix is inherently UV-stable; the glossy topcoat provides an additional UV barrier. To maintain the finish, rinse the grill weekly with deionized water during winter months, and apply a thin coat of automotive wax quarterly. Do not use abrasive polishes or high-pressure washers (above 100 bar) directly on the carbon surface; these can delaminate the topcoat. Minor stone chips or scratches (less than 5mm) can be buffed out with fine-grit automotive compound and rewaxed. For larger damage, contact the Mansory dealer for professional carbon-repair services.

Lead Time & Ordering

Lead time is typically 1–2 weeks from order confirmation for in-stock configurations. Custom carbon-finish options (matte lacquer, satin, or metallic clearcoat) may extend lead time to 3 weeks. International shipping is available via DHL Express, FedEx International, or Hermès specialized automotive logistics, with delivery typically within 5–7 business days. Duties and import tariffs are the responsibility of the buyer; Mansory provides commercial invoices and packing documentation suitable for customs clearance.

Warranty & Support

Each Mansory component includes a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects (material flaws, delamination, epoxy voids, or improper cure). The warranty does not cover impact damage, stone chips, or deterioration from improper maintenance. Mansory's technical support team is available via email ([email protected]) or WhatsApp during European business hours (Mon–Fri, 09:00–18:00 CET). Installation guidance, fitment clarifications, and finish-care recommendations are provided at no additional cost.

FAQ

Q: Will the lamels vibrate at highway speeds?
A: No. The slat assembly is rigidly anchored to the OEM bumper frame at 8 points, with elastomeric isolators at each anchor to dampen micro-vibrations. Testing at 200+ km/h shows no measurable vibration or rattle.

Q: Can I retrofit this to a 2015 Bentayga if I have an aftermarket front bumper?
A: The lamels are designed for OEM bumper geometry. Aftermarket bumpers vary in mount-point spacing; fitment may require custom shimming. Contact Mansory technical support with your bumper specifications before ordering.

Q: Is the carbon weave aligned or random?
A: All lamels are hand-laid in a consistent 3K twill pattern (diagonal weave at 45°). This alignment contributes to directional strength and aesthetic uniformity across the assembly.

Q: What's the temperature rating of the carbon-epoxy matrix?
A: The autoclave-cured epoxy is rated to 180°C continuous service (higher than typical brake-cooler airflow temperature of 60–90°C). No thermal derating is necessary for street or moderate track use.

Q: Can the lamels be repainted or refinished?
A: The glossy lacquer topcoat is factory-applied and difficult to refinish without compromising the carbon weave's appearance. Repainting with opaque color (e.g., body-color match) is technically possible but not recommended; it conceals the carbon's inherent aesthetic. For finish restoration (removing oxidation or light scratches), a professional carbon-restoration service is recommended.

Q: What's the weight of the complete assembly?
A: Approximately 1.8 kg (3.96 lbs) for the full horizontal-slat assembly, including mounting brackets and fasteners. Weight savings over OEM mesh are negligible for a single grill; the benefit is primarily aerodynamic and aesthetic.
