Oh no.

Lorry drivers perhaps. Looks like a tricky repair on the rear wing.

Yea, I think the rear wing really tells the future of the car. 

Might be worth a word with Robseymv6 as he's replaced a rear wing on an Estate iirc. Involved cutting and welding/spot welding, while supporting the roof of the car.

Might well be worth buying it back if its written off...? Either for repair or parts.

Dont let them take it off you though. Either for storage or any other reason. Bad things happen in storage, either further damage, bits go missing, or it's not unknown for them to loose the car altogether.

[Varche]

That is horrendous.

[zirk]

Bastards......no note left under the wiper?

Nope, checked with Neighbours where the car was parked, nothing.

...or anyway of tracking the bastid down?

Probably not.

There was a silver wing mirror cover (not mine) that someone had left on my windscreen (probably thinking it belonged to me) no idea of the make, I'll post up some pics of it, and see if anyone on here can recognize the make of car?

Took the Mirror cover to the Plod Shop, not interested, more interested in me and producing all my documents to make sure everything is legal with me and the car, despite a quick Vehicle Index Check would have shown all was in order.

Gutted for you Zirk, Looked a fine clean example an all 

Someone must have seen something, Just keeping their lips sealed 

[astroblaster]

Typical. I've had the same from them. Go there to report a hit and run and they'll have a go at pinning something on the guy standing before them, who's already got enough to worry about, before getting off their @rse and finding the real criminal.

Really sorry to hear this, and I hope you find the ******.

If only George Dixon was still pounding the beat, he would have 'collared' the culprit by now

Readily repairable if you can do most of the work stripping and refitting after

Pretty effective way to ruin your week though

[RobG]

Could be looking that way Rob, 50 50 on that one at the moment, still kinda early days yet. 

Thing that really pisses me off is the effort, time and money spent bringing this little beauty up and ready for a new home for someone. 

[omega3000]

I had CCTV footage. Plod still not interested because, although it shows the vehicle registration, registered keeper denies responsibility and the CCTV doesn't show who's driving.

It must be marvellous being a criminal these days. Seems the law is stacked in your favour at every turn.

Useless articles police are on the whole when you actually need them, It feels like most of the time they are just after your money. 

Boy racers that can do as they please with cars they don't have to worry about spending a penny on...

Sorry to see that damage, annoying comes nowhere near. 

My son suffered the same treatment from the Police, even though the lorry was still in the vicinity. They lost any chance of catching the driver by checking my sons documents. Thankfully my sons dash cam had filmed it, but the Police were still not interested. The company denied any wrong doing until the insurance company loss chasers challenged them with the footage.  They then paid out in full to the insurance company and my sons insurance was re-adjusted back to lower risk. That's the short version, it was a bit more complex in reality.   
I sent a snotty letter off to the Police thanking them for being so helpful...... not.
