Did you get his / her reg number?

If they drove off then they have broken the law (leaving the seen of an accident and all that) That's not to say they'll pay to get you're car repaired though, cos like you say, they probably aren't insured etc... but at least they will get the pleasure of knowing they will go to court.
As long as you got a reg number you can get them to court, police will send a letter to the registered keeper asking who was driving at the time, although probably 10 minutes after the accident the car would have 'coincidentally ' been reported as stolen.

My experience of VW's / Audi's of that era is that they were built like tanks.  My mate has an elderly audi 80 (round the clock on a 1.9tdi engine, gearbox has been rebuilt mind), one day the handbrake failed and it rolled down a hill.  A pub bench slowed it down before it came to rest against a lampost.  The park bench was like matchsticks and the lamp post had a sizeable dent in it.  The audi on the other hand had a smashed rear light and a small dent in the bumper.  I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen it myself.  I think these old cars had a more victorian approach to structural design "if in doubt make it heavy"  :grin:

Unfortunately I didn't get his reg as I was worried about my car (bits from the plate holder flew everywhere and I thought it was bits of my car so was concerned for that) I then looked up to see him speed off so didn't get the reg.

Jules, cost wise. Well its £403 for a new GTI bumper, GTI grille and VW badge from my dealer. Thats without paint :(

A place in Crayford called Volksapart want £215 for the same but its not OEM however they say that the parts are "insurance approved" and "made in the same factory", I am a bit sceptical as its considerably cheaper . . . If the jobs worth doing properly and all that. Anyone had any dealings with non OEM bumpers, grilles etc ?

Its so annoying as that money would have paid for my new tyres Im going to need soon :(
