That's a cool clean looking truck
Is the spare wheel cover covered in a blue film that you cant bring yourself to remove |

Does look good. Did they ask you what level of tint you wanted?

It looks great, pretty much like the factory tint shade.

I just said the darkest you have. I recall when we used "Limo Black" way back in the nineties, it was proper dark, but I guess different manufacturers have different ideas of shade. The film he used was classed as "Limo Black" & was USA made. |

Yup, it's the protective film that's dried on & is now a beep to remove as it just flakes in tiny pieces The cover was used on my old truck & it looked ok as the two shades went well together, but looks awful on the new one |

Can't go wrong with tinted windows! Well, kind of. The car looks great, Pete. What's next on the agenda? If anything.

That does look good, I was quoted £160 a while back and might just go for it.

Also, what make are the wind deflectors? They also set it off nicely
I was thinking of getting some at some point myself. |

Yes correct Jim & Davey Boy. Heko. You can buy them for all four window, just the rears or just the fronts. Very useful when it's hot as you can leave all four windows down slightly & no one knows Also when it rains too, though not a good idea when the snow blowing as last winter my dog was in the back whilst I was working. When I came to the truck to come home, I had nearly 6" of snow on the passenger seat |

Next is to fill the dent & spray. I won't be posting any pictures of my work in progress as I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing & I'll make an arse of myself I've been viewing youtube for tips & procedure I've pushed most of the dent out, but the steel is stretched & the paint has come off. It's been covered in chain lube for a few weeks to stop any rust forming |
