Bentley Flying Spur Tailgate 3SE82725 C New Model
Series: 3S / 3SE (Third Generation: 2019–2024+)
Part Number: 3SE827025C (and variant 3SE827159A)
For the New Model Bentley Flying Spur, the part number 3SE827025C identifies the rear trunk lid (tailgate) shell. This component is specifically designed for the third-generation chassis, which moved to a more sculpted, aluminum-intensive body compared to the previous generations.
1. Key Features & Materials
-
Superformed Aluminum: Unlike older models that used heavier steel or traditional stampings, the
3SEtailgate is crafted using a “superforming” process. The aluminum is heated to $500°C$ and shaped by air pressure to create the sharp, seamless character lines characteristic of the new Flying Spur. -
Integrated Spoiler: The tailgate design incorporates a subtle aerodynamic “flick” to improve high-speed stability without needing a separate plastic spoiler.
-
Electric Operation: These units are designed for full power-open and power-close functionality (standard on all Flying Spur trims).

3. The 2025 “Ultra Performance Hybrid” Facelift
Bentley has recently updated the Flying Spur for the 2025–2026 model year.
-
Compatibility: The core shell (
3SE827025C) remains largely consistent between the 2019-2024 models and the new 2025 Hybrid facelift. -
Exterior Trim: While the shell is the same, the badges and brightware (chrome vs. gloss black) may differ. The 2025 model often features a new “Speed” or “Mulliner” specific trim finish on the trunk lid.
4. Installation & Painting
-
Aluminum Welding: Because the panel is aluminum, it cannot be traditionally repaired if there is significant tearing or structural damage. It usually requires a full panel replacement.
-
Weights & Balance: If you are painting a new shell, ensure the painter does not apply excessive “filler” or thick primer, as this can affect the sensitivity of the anti-pinch sensors in the electric motors.
-
Rear Camera: The backup camera is housed within the license plate recess area of this tailgate. When swapping a shell, the camera must be re-calibrated using Bentley ODIS software to ensure the guidelines on your screen are accurate.
