I would say so but like everything it won't be cheap.

This.
But as the sod hit you then drove off, you make sure it gets fixed, and not necessarily cheaply, and make sure the sod pays every penny as well as what ever plod do.

But involving the insurance company could result in it being written off as a loss and or raised premiums as happened to my wife when her car was hit, the driver dint drive off as his car was completky wrecked driving into the rear of a parked D3.

This depends on if you want an unblemished motor. It certainly wouldn't be a write off if the only damage is to the bumper and nothing behind. Second hand bumpers will be between £50 and £200 and you might get one the same colour. An insurance job for new bumber and spray would probably be around £1500 I should think

Just report the bugger online, and don't use insurance. Include his reg & video or photos.

Apparently leaving the scene of an accident is not necessarily a crime !
An Amazon van hit my Daughter in her Polo on a roundabout, spun the car around !
Whilst she recovered from the shock, he got off. When we eventually found an open Police station they asked did we have registration number. No, he got off before she could get it. Sorry, nothing we can do.
Action still on going with Amazon over a year later. We do have CCTV but only side view.

Report to police and if they do nothing then put in a complaint against the police, if you have CCTV it is not going to need poirot, just a look up at the DVLA whom owns the car, knock their door and present them with the evidence job done.

will be about the same as your insurance excess and no claim and no premium double next year
The fact that it’s a gaylander means that you don’t need to blend the new paint with rust…
