Post by: momos on March 16, 2010, 11:31:30 PM: oh my godfathers!
sorry i thought u didnt like it, that is steep!

but yes, its plotted so either cut or spray a template will be needed, you need one of those wrap companies that look like
custom spray paint, like that starwars jobby, it is a very complex thing to look right, and I created that from scratch, a number of
skins, rugs etc and its simlified. The .eps is just an outline for the ploter to follow, the flattened artwork would be for a
huge all in one sticker rather than individual stripes....
I'm sure we'll come up with a way...sorry Peter :icon_redface:

Post by: isle of man on March 28, 2010, 05:56:35 PM: Today wile searching for a winch mount I stumbled across this 80litre extra petrol tank, it fit's inplace of the under slung spare - TEAM MEAN consumes petrol like Cynthia Payne consumed customers.

Is it known as 'The Wedgie'?
Where Doug Slug got run over, Waggers nearly backflipped his TJ and Pete S exploded a halfshaft in his Cherry?

If so, it's much more fun going up :003:

No Paul - did the Wedgie Today - this is at the top you can see the electric fence on the right of the ML and the northern view over the Island and Scotland in the background.

I have now figured the best gear/box combination for this now though - can you believe low 2nd and traction on was the best for gulp!!!!
Have added couple more dents on the ML and totally scratched the paint now - not shiny anymore :icon_eek: :icon_eek:

Just a little thing I have noticed - they do have some road noise - this can be overcome by turning the radio up slightly higher - or if like me enjoy the hummmmmm over 90MPH.

Post by: Dave The Sparky on July 07, 2010, 09:25:55 PM: I suspect that if Freddie Mercury was still alive today and he went to the Merc dealers and purchased the homosexuals car of choice (that being the ML Mercedes) he would decide when choosing his garish paint job that tiger stripes were too overtly ghay even by his standards and would instead settle for a string vest and some leather chaps to prove his homosexuality.
Title: Re: Project TEAM MEAN!!!!
Post by: Dave The Sparky on July 07, 2010, 09:28:45 PM: Furthermore i also suspect that if Kenny Everett was still alive today and he bought an ML Merc he too would decide that tiger stripes were too overtly ghay even by his standards and would instead choose to be in a bush on Hampstead Heath wearing some enormous hands to prove his homosexuality.

Not sure I want to do this as TEAM MEAN does everything I want of it.

Cash I guess £4,500 without the fancy winch or £5,000 with the winch - just had new front and rear brake disc and pads thats over a grands worth :010:

Post by: wildwood on March 13, 2012, 12:48:20 PM: Looking good.......

So much better than all the £4-5 k ones on ebay that seem to look like they were bought for the MILF school run.

Tyres do it....... you got a lift on it as well???

Post by: isle of man on March 13, 2012, 01:41:10 PM: Indeed lift from ORC - 1.25 puks in the rear and crank up the front just right for the 256x70x17 tyres - what do you think on the new colour wheels?

Post by: wildwood on March 13, 2012, 02:29:43 PM: Does give it the offroad look and less urban SUV.

How's the gearing with larger tyres?

Not affected still tow's very well.

The RT03's lasted two years and 15,000ish hard miles, sadly no longer available that's why I changed to the KM's.

Post by: isle of man on May 22, 2014, 05:28:58 PM: Decided to up-date this, photos to follow.

I'm constantly amazed by this vehicle, but believe it has about 12 more months remaining in it, 30,000 miles off road grief is starting to show - recent purchase includes another set of wheels/tyres this time I went for the KO's .

I'm planning a 55AMG as it's replacement, but with Dana axles !!

It will be the Dana's currently under the Mafia but with those German portals adapted to them, it will be about stance not lift or flex. KILLER AXLE (http://www.killeraxles.com/bolt_on_portale_e.html)
