Come home from work to find that our Yaris parked on the road had been hit by some inconsiderate tosser

Can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop around Dartford area and know approximately how much it would cost to repair the damage?

That's a bit of a shitter! No expert, but probably say £100-200 from experience of similar repair.

My mates dad runs this, they specialise mainly in German cars but they could fix your Corsa easy enough, they aren't cheap though, best to call for a quote.

I used these guys when I was trading. Often picked up cars from auction with similar damage to yours and they would turn them around in a few days. Very good staff and actually work on weekends too.

And the rest. Looking from pics I would say it just needs quarter, blow in bumper potentially but may be easier to just lacquer it out and the repair I would estimate around £350 ish.

Think i found the culprit in the form of my neighbour. I suspected it to be his vehicle but couldnt confirm until now as the vehicle had not been back.

Look just now at his car in the dark and the side where he would come out of the junction matchs my car with the silver paint still on his car too. Looks like i will have to speak to them tomorrow.
