bumper looks to have survived!
headlight and guard only it looks

I'd report him to the cops, hit and runs are an offence.
Also, did you get the details of the witness?
Eye witnesse's are very useful for getting things fixed.

Well hang on, are you insured?
If so, your insurance company will chase the offender for payment.

If you aren't insured, then you will have to go through there insurance company after the police have had there way with him.

or.

if he also isnt insured, you'll have to summon him to court and chase him for money yourself.

might not need insurance.

looks like you might only need 1 quarter panel (try to find one that matches the colour i guess) and a light, and maybe the front bar will buff out? (fingers crossed lol)

how much would your excess be anyway?

Here to lend some support. This exact thing happened to me where some douche reversed/forwarded into the rear of my fto. No witnesses so unfortunately I had to foot the excess which was $800. The job cost my insurance company $1800.00 because the boot lid was bent, rear bumper slightly dented and scraped and tail-light was broken. Luckily dstocks had a taillight for me which the panel beater paid me for. He also had to match my fto's orangy bronze colour and did a damn good job of it.

Anyway, hope it works out for you.

seconded .. Prob not worth the excess to put in an insurance claim & affect your rating ..

If you had the number plate of the guy that did it, that's another story, no excesses!

Otherwise, get a matching quarter panel & a headlight & knead any dents in the front bumper out after heating it with a hairdryer( .. from the inside of the bumper, not directly onto the paint.)
