Angry Someone did a hit and run on my S2000 :(

Really hope this day would not come, but yet another day living in London where someone hits your car and then runs off without leaving a note... sigh. Fortunately it is parked just outside my flat.

I would really like some advice from you guys on my next steps, as this has never happened to me before. To me it looks really bad, I really hope not a write off? My insurance companies website is down at the moment and they aren't answering phones on a Sunday, so I can report it yet, but I have reported to the police. Aim to speak to the insurance company first thing tomorrow morning.

Any ideas what I should do

Really appreciate any help here.

Sorry for your loss. Parked on the American side of the road?

All you can do really is contact your Insurance company. Does look quite bad but repairable though. Hope they don't write it off.
Maybe a neighbour has cctv!

It's on the left-hand side of the road (British side). I took the photo from the back

OK, that sounds a little promising.. thanks.

Have tried neighbours, but no-one is aware of it, or has CCTV

Replacement front wing, replacement door and then some repair work on the rear quarter panel. It looks bad but with second hand parts its salvageable. Thats assuming the rear wheel hasnt been pushed back from the force of the impact. If it has then thats a massive cost to replace all the various components

That sucks... I don't think it will be totaled. New door, paint and body work etc. and should be OK.
It looks like it was hit from the front the way the door is peeled back. Ask around, someone must have
seen something as it must have made a fair amount of noise.

Rear wheel doesn't look like it has been pushed back, thankfully. Agree with the replacement from wing, door and repair on the rear panel.

Do you have any idea how much that would be for either: a) 2nd hand parts, and b) if I took it to a Honda garage and they sourced the parts and labour for repair?

I have asked around but no-one knows shit

That was not a gentle hit n run, how do people live with themselves? Hope the perpetrators next shit is a prickly pear, or two.
