A while ago, in some no doubt very important conversation, I told Saff that all Veyrons were two tone in colour.

He fought long and hard to claim otherwise - even producing a small, inconclusive photo of an all-black one (which I claimed was black and a really really dark blue - or something)

Well. Today I apologise.

It seems that yes, indeed, someone is foolish enough to spec one in a single colour. And not just any single colour, a single primary colour.

Red.

So...

Dear Alan.

I was wrong - there is a one-colour Veyron.

And it looks shithouse.

1. Emsta - sorry if there is a misunderstanding, this was not meant as a dig at Saff at all. He said he saw a flat colour one, I didn't believe him - turns out I was wrong (so horribly, horribly wrong...)

2. Nick - it's as good as I can find... :)

have to back adz up on that one... always thought the 2tone looked god awful... well as god awful as an ugly arsed car can be.

all black actually makes it look better.

its worth how many million? and you didnt think they would let you have it any god damn colour you want? alot of them are two tone and even those solid ones could be red over red or black over black on paper, so technically they may be two tone? even though they are both the same tone lol

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
