Eric (onebadna1nsx), is close to these guys too iirc. If I'm not mistaken, I've been to their shop when they were in Montebello (a couple of miles from me).

Right here.

Yes, the boys are at it @ Platinum Motorsport doing this veyron up in a matte white job to match the matte white Veyron Supersport that Ben has on order. Bugatti Corp. is well aware that this beast is being torn apart and modified.

Here is the car before it went in:

What the hell kind of aftermarket is there for this car? How many more hp do they plan on trying to get out of it?

This is insane to touch such a stunning car.

They will probably do a lot of custom fiber glass work to the body..Wide body

And I really like the brick wall on the inside of the body shop. Looks cool.

I don't recall having him tune nor widebody on the already wide bug, just a paintjob for this one.

True and not true. You are referring to Rob, and he had picked out the Sang Noir rims to put on his regular veyron; still manufactured by Bugatti.

His car:

There are multiple versions of the Veyron, sort of like how the gallardo has many many editions.

The regular veyron is just an ordinary veyron, not a special edition type.

Grandsport = Convertible

Supersport = Wider body, lighter car, and 200hp faster than the 'base' Veyron.

Then they have editions, such as the Sang Noir and L'or Blanc, and probably some others I don't have at the top of my head.

Model of the L'or Blanc Edition:






The theme of the L'or Blanc. The car was shaped off this object.
