The Tyrol-based family business imbeds the cars with diamonds and Swarowski crystals with a German dermatologist's Porsche the latest to get the real diamond finish.
Crystal firm Swarovski developed the process by mixing real diamonds with a Swarovski crystal mix to create a sparkling cover that has proved to be so successful there is a five year waiting list of people wanting the
service.
Karl Seelos, head of the seven-man team, said: "We have a lot of contact to various royal families, such as the Saudis. But many of our customers would prefer to remain anonymous."
The company was also unwilling to reveal the prices it charges.
He said: "It takes many hours of careful discussion to plan and decide on all the details. It can take up to half a year to do the best job possible."
