Firstlt welcome and nice pic in the signature :wink:

Secondly give the person (if known) a good slap for jumpin on your car.

Im no bodyshop expert so i don't really know what to suggest.

I'll second that.

Only thing I can think of is, take it to a bodyshop and get them to have a look, oh and if you know the person - make them pay for it

Is a pain in the ass when someone else damages it and you're left with the bill, it's happened to my folks a few times!

It's always the little things though that make the car 100% :D

I had only had the car a few weeks too when it happened, which made it worse since it was in mint condition! Oh well! Cars still pretty standard just now not sure what to do to it yet! i love it the way it is! lol

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event, have you thought about trying somewhere like ChipsAway? (www.chipsaway.co.uk)...

They're good they are, I took my Peugeot to them when I hit a wall, and it came back like new for only £135 IIRC, they even sorted the plastic trim without replacing it.
