Crystal MINI pictures

I went to the Borgata in Atlantic City today and saw the Mini that's on display there, it's covered in 1,000,000 Swarovski crystals. The crystals make up patriotic American scenes, which is kinda odd for a German-British car but still neat...

Sorry if the pictures aren't real bright, I did use my flash...

Credit to Carla99 for pointing this out or I wouldn't have know it was there...

I guess the car is "on tour," but I don't know where it's off to next. I know it's about done in A.C., though...

I wonder if they painted the Mini with the graphics first and then glued the crystals following the color? Actually if they painted it first, couldn't they just use all clear crystals? Hmmm....

...and they will sell this to you for 350k. They also have a miniature mini done similarly in crystals and sell that one for 25k (not sure the exact size but its about 1.5 feet long by 1 foot tall, and no, it does not have a remote control).
