phatal Member 205 Member For: 17y 3m 2d Gender: Male Location: Poxby Downs, SA Posted 23/03/08 04:37 AM Author Share Posted 23/03/08 04:37 AM Sometimes I wish that I didn't care about the car I drove. It seems that the nicer the car is the less I enjoy it. I used to drive around in an old XF s pack and didn't worry about a thing. I hit a roo in it doing 120 and just thought meh. This car I am almost too scared to take it out of the driveway. I get to the point where I am just too cautious and end up not enjoying it for what it is. JOY!

I guess at least once I find a new bumper for it (if I can afford one) I can say that it has been modded as it won't be original anymore lol.

I guess at least once I find a new bumper for it (if I can afford one) I can say that it has been modded as it won't be original anymore lol.Just had my BA Phoon bar replaced after a small 'run-in' with a wallaby. Be ready for a fair shock when you price the new bar! Over $3000 unpainted genuine FPV. Doesn't sound like you have hit hard enough to damage the mesh, but that was another $750. All up over $6000 for what was relatively little damage. - OUCH!

Anyway hope it all has a happy ending for you mate Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43806-rspec-phoon-highlights/page/2/#findComment-649622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't really that much damage but I don't think I will be happy unless I get a whole new bar. There are some deep gouges in it which would need to be filled and it might come up ok but I would all ways know it was there. If the bars don't come painted I won't be happy.
