Bad luck Cocopop, I would be gutted if that was my car.  Where are you situated. If you are in the westcountry I would recommend Smartworld in Exeter.  They did a great job on the minor damage I had on my previous GTI PP.  However it was not on par with the damage your car has sustained.  Hope you get it sorted soon.  :wink:

I was very happy with fastlane paint and body, although I did get a lot of phone calls telling me about progress of my car, think they have a shop down ascot way

I'm gutted for you. Only 2 months old too! Hope you get it sorted soon.

FYI I clicked on your link. All I see is a thumbnail and a media player screen but it wouldn't play. maybe it's only available to logged in users.

That looks like a right twit-driver, he obviously didn't see that the rear of your car is sticking out more than the front.

If you can stretch it up to Birmingham then this is a top place https://www.citycentrecarcare.co.uk

PS, I'm pretty sure I didn't put twit-driver :wink: does this site now have auto edit?

Don’t have to log on. Press the pause button the play. That’s how it works on iPad anyway.

That is absolutely shocking.
I bet you're glad you have CCTV.
Are you able to extract the registration number?
I know he's a complete clown for driving like that but I bet he didn't even feel that.

Have you contacted the company?

Good luck with it.

Yup, reg collected and reported to police for failure to stop.
Logo on the side was enough to find the company.

Took them nearly 24hrs to come back to me with policy details.

There’s no way he can’t admit liability. Not sure you’d be any clearer...
Plus I have videos of him walking back up the road past my car a few mins later.

You don't want it filled although it doesn't look to bad it's the paint match you need to worry about as reds a nightmare to match   :sad:
