I’ll Be Pimped… A MINI Cooper Adorned With a Million Swarovski Crystals!

Thursday, May 03, 2007 Categories: , , |

The characterization “bling-bling” is definitely an understatement for this Cooper. Dubbed “American Icon”, the glittering MINI is the work of CrystalArt and it’ll be on display at the upcoming National Stationery Show, May 20-23, at NY City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. It features over one-million Swarovski crystals in 50 different shades of color. Each crystal was scrupulously hand placed and it took four people 6 months to complete. The designs on the car portrays American scenery and symbols including The Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore etc. The total cost of the “American Icon”? A crystal and a dollar… -More Images after the jump

Great idea, disappointing execution...
They took 2 beautiful things - a MINI, and crystal, and produced an amazingly expensive example of tackiness.

I'm sure many will be dazzled, however...

Im so disappointed....I've seen pimped Coopers and this my amigos isn't one. It's creative ,but not pimpen.
To see some real coopers go to cardomain.com or to get some amazing upgrades to this Beemer go to www.andysautosport.com. It's chamazing.
Great idea, poor execution

What an expensive piece of corny junk. It's like a shrunken redneck truck. Tasteless.
