00:00There are two million crystals on the Aventador. Some people say that I wasted so much money
00:05on this car, which is not true. I like something shiny.
00:14So it's actually impossible to take any crystal of this car because the glue is so strong.
00:18You can try it. If I had to describe my car in three words, it would be unique,
00:23photogenic and beautiful. In the world of supercars, the Lamborghini will always reign
00:29supreme. But what happens when you take an Aventador and give it the ultimate bling makeover?
00:47This is Daria and she's done just that. My name is Daria Rodionova and I own the world's first
00:54crystal-covered Lamborghini. It might be the first of its kind, but Daria's inspiration for her
01:00bedazzled car came from something a lot smaller. So basically I had shoes from Laboutin covered in
01:07crystals and I was like, why not to cover my car like this, full of crystals? And that's how the
01:14idea came up. Girls, we love diamonds, we love everything shiny and sparkling. So that's why I
01:22decided to put crystals because I like something shiny, shiny look. There are two million crystals
01:29on the Aventador. It took around three months to finish the job. Every single crystal was applied by hand.
01:41Taking on the task of kitting out this Lamborghini with thousands of crystals was a mere.
01:46I'm the owner and founder of Cars in Cloaks and here we have a simple rule. If you can dream
01:51it,
01:51we'll build it for you. So the car came to us in red. I was scared. I was like, I'm
01:56not going to do it.
01:58So not only, I'm taking on a Lamborghini, one of the most popular expensive supercars
02:04that I'm covering with two million crystals, no way I'm doing it. We had not done anything so
02:10extensive to a Lamborghini Aventador and we ended up doing the craziest thing to it.
02:15The process of covering the car in crystals was meticulous. The first layer is a C2 PPF layer,
02:20which protects the paint from stone shapes and whatnot. On top of that, we've got black vinyl,
02:26which still has a base for the crystals. The crystals are also black to enhance it. So we went for
02:31a
02:31gloss black finish underneath. And then there's glue on top of the vinyl, which holds the crystals
02:36down. So in theory, if she ever wants to go back to red, she can. The bonnet took probably about
02:42five
02:42days for two people to complete. There were times where I thought I would give up. The team almost
02:48had it. So a lot of late nights, a lot of pizzas. With the Aventador being one of the priciest
02:55cars
02:55on the market, covering it with crystals must have been expensive. I got the car for £350,000
03:02and because it has crystals now, it's priceless. I can't say how much it costs because it's a secret.
03:11Covering one car in crystals is a huge challenge, but incredibly, this isn't a first for Daria.
03:17So Lamborghini Aventador is not the first car I had covered in crystals. Before that,
03:22I had Mercedes CLS covered in crystals and then I had Bentley and then I had Lamborghini Huracan.
03:30So after Huracan, I decided that I want to upgrade it and I got Aventador. Driving this pimped out
03:36supercar around London, it's no surprise it attracts a fair amount of attention.
03:42I do not predict how popular the car will become. In my opinion, Lamborghini, especially Aventador,
03:50is the best car on earth. I love the drive, I love the handle of the car, I love the
03:56power,
03:56the sound, the look, everything. Some people say that I wasted so much money on this car, which is
04:07not true. That's something that I really love. It's my hobby and I love fast cars. So the next car
04:12I'm planning to cover in crystals is going to be Bugatti. Just watch me.
