these are pretty interesting, they show the history of the plant and some pictures of the inside. you can see where it is talking about when u hear "your car is in the paint shop" or the different processes.

Thank you Paul! I almost feel like I've taken the factory tour. Awesome photos and much appreciated.

No problem, it's changed a little since then (and no camera's allowed) but it's still much the same, they've mostly improved the visitor facilities.
