Default Windows Tinted

Finally had my windows done yesterday




Overall I'm quite happy with the result. Not as dark as I wanted, but I knew it wouldn't be, hence the Solarplexius panels that are on their way from Sweden that I can remove in winter

Can you see my dog? She's looking at you

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.

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

Thank you

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

Yes mate.
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.

Thank you

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

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.

Those deflectors look like Heko brand about £30 from eBay for a Terrano, got same brand on Skoda. I think they look neat.

Jim’s right Martin. Heko. Brilliant lookers for the money and a smaller profile and flatter to the glass than factory.
I had some on mine at the weekend.
