They do say that they're the only vehicle on the market to come from the factory with dents in them.

Factory fitted dents and big gaps do have an advantage over rivals

I'm considering an extra cab for my 120 also. I'm interested to see how you (your old man) finish off the recess you've created at the join, so it looks "pretty".

I've become rather fond of the train carriage shape over the years

You'll be waiting patientally, unfortunately, but what will happen is get some aluminium folded up, to suit the gap, then checked, to mould to the fold, then sikaflexed in, hihly likely the join won;t have body filler in it, 2 reason's

1. you see how buch a LR body flexs

2. you seen what an LR looks like from factory

The white paint should be easier to match the sikaflex colour to also.

This would be cool with a bubble roof also.

Will the paint crack over the sikaflex?

Bubble roof.... You'd need a series screen, though Stirlsilver has changed his to songle glass.
