today i rolled the gaurds properly on the XF and the hotwires still scrubbed, the 2 tyres on the snow flakes held air over night so i swapped the wheels over it doesnt seem as bouncy as it was on 14's.
pictures little bit better then whats already posted.

so ive been hearing different cfm ratings to spray a car first it was 8cfm then 12cfm (the one i was going to hire) but now im told 12cfm will struggle and i need a 17cfm
 so i had to make a decision fast as im starting to lose interest in the ED so tomorrow me and dad are picking up a 2.5hp belt driven compressor from repco as even after the cars done we still need a compressor. i will use the old one as a reserve tank wich should give about 70-80 odd litres of capacity, heres hoping next weeks weathers good.also this is my unwanted guest in the XF was sitting there still so i got a photo as soon as i went to sqaush him he shot down under the dash so i sprayed this surface spray stuff (a tonne of it) and it didnt come out so hopefully its gone i dont want that bastard crawling on me when im driving   look at the ugly little prick  i await its next appearance to sqaush it with my size 13 boot

gay tonight it was very wet i was on my way home and got distracted for a second by someone who had rear ended someone i look back to see the traffic had stop i think you know the answer wet road + no abs = bang i ran up the a** of a late model mazda 4wd i only cracked her rear bumper and knocked some paint off it the xf basically went under it
 noone was hurt luckily or i would feel even worse, anyway we exchanged details and she left i went to leave flat battery cops ended up pulling up saying they had some calls about my car being in a bad spot i explained what happend they were cool about it even pushed my car down the road. little bit later lukey1990 came down to jump start me thanks heaps mate and of all people to stop was the guy i bought it off so tonight i should of just stayed home.pics.  after me and luke pulled the bonnet out to open it.  so the XF needs bonnet, grill, headlights and front right gaurd.

some pics of the car today.
    all thats left of the drivers side headlight  i was speaking to my parents last night and basically there could be 2 scenarios depends on how she claims it. 1. is i pay her excess and were done or 2. her insurance chases me up for the money to pay for the repairs on her car  if scenario 2 occurs depending on the cost of her car i may have to sell/strip the ed  i will keep you all posted with the out come hopefully its a pleasant one.

Good luck with insurance idiots matey. If the damage to the 4WD was so minor you should offer to just fix her 4WD yourself since you're okay with doing that kind of work!

It'll be fine Brad. It sounds like she's a reasonable person. Besides, it wasn't a bad accident or caused by stupid driving.
Wet roads, night time and no ABS leads to these things happening. Insurance companies know this, and you weren't tailgating or anything. Anyway, look on the bright side, this weekend it'll have a new guard, bonnet, grill and lights and be good as new.

Do you not have any form of insurance on your car?
If you dont have at least 3rd party , Im sorry mate but you will get no sympathy from here. No insurance means you shouldnt be on the road.
