Mercedes covered in a million Swarovski crystals dazzles in London

 This unique Mercedes was stopping traffic yesterday (Mon) after its owner had it covered in crystals. The diesel Mercedes CLS is thought to be owned by a Russian woman who lives in London. And she has managed to outdo the Arab playboys who drive around the capital by having her car covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals. The Mercedes was parked outside a restaurant on Basil Street, near Harrods in Knightsbridge.

A Russian motorist has attracted plenty of attention in the capital while cruising around in a Mercedes covered in a million Swarovski crystals.

Daria Radionova, 21, wowed Londoners with her sparkly supercar parked outside Harrods in Knightsbridge on 18 September.

The business student, who paid £20,000 for the crystals, shared pictures of her flashy, customised car on Instagram.

"I wanted to have something unique and do something special,” she told Mail Online.

"The people who did it came over from Russia and worked for 12 hours a day for two months on the car.”

Dozens of pictures of the Mercedes CLS 350 spotted around London have been posted on social media.
