Default Advice on Car park ding

My S2K got itself a nice ding in a hotel car park and the sod didn't leave details. Hopefully CCTV will reveal them and I can send them the bill, and maybe a driveby with a super soaker and some paint thinners (In my dreams).

I'll try and put a picture up later but basically I have an 18" scratch maybe 2 " wide down the drivers side door, no other panels hurt. The scratch isn't just paintwork though it's got about a 2mm line depressed down the middle. This bugger isn't going to just polish out.

What do people suggest about getting it fixed?

I'm in S London and obviously want the best possible job done for sorting out the dent and getting a perfect paint job. Am I best using a Honda place or not? Wandsworth honda shut down a couple of weeks back so i've not got a choice of C Palace, Chiswick or Bromley.

Also if anyone has had similar incidents have you got any advice on claiming once I've (Hopefully) tracked the evil doer down.

if you want to track them down yourll have to go through insurance. as i doubt the cctv will be given too you directly with all the human right stuff. Best is to go to a bodyshop and get some quotes honda might not always be the best

If you speak to Steve at Bexleyheath Honda I'm sure he'll give you a discount, but I'm guessing they don't actually do these jobs themselves at the stealers.

My stepfather managed to get the CCTV footage of some bint reversing into his car in a hotel car park and driving off.

Bloody thing needed a new wing
