I don't think others will even notice the color combo when it flies by you at 250mph, haha.

You think? At 5000 punds a signal lever...i dare not to think. It may very well cost a fully loaded E60.
I'm sorry that I didn't know it costs 5000 pounds for a signal lever. So do you have an exact estimate how much it will cost to fix that front end?

Does not seem to bad per the article.

"According to Sainsbury the damage to the Veyron is likely to be less severe than it appears as the car is built along the same principles as a racing car, meaning any damaged parts can be removed and replaced very quickly."

It wasn't the owner who was driving, it was his little brother who had borrowed it from his 40 year old brother, a millionaire from London - according to an article in a Swedish newspaper.

Also, a witness said that the elder brother screamed "I'll deal with you when we come home" and that the police had some difficulty separating the two.
