Oh they knew, and they buggered off quick-sharp. Looks like a towing eye or tow-bar that's done the crack, and a black bumper that's rubbed the paint. Very sorry for you. That's about £750 to a grands-worth to repair and repaint properly I suspect.
yea thats what i though! im sure they would have known when they reversed and felt a thud when they backed up into my pride and joy!!! Im sure that im the only one that will be losing sleep over it though! 
if i found where there car was... 
ILL FLATTEN THE F'ing THING!
Looks like it. Well to update you all.. Ive booked it into the bodyshop on monday cant stand not having it in pristine condition kills me! So going to be without it all next week and having to part with like 300 notes which im having to pay out for something that aint my fault but gotta have the car fixed.. even though ive slept on it.. im still seething when i look at the car im like GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr

lovely jubily.. havent seen that before will have to have a hunt for it!
Really really sorry to hear about what some mindless bar steward has done to your pride & joy. Unfortunately I know what it's like - had mine keyed by some mindless idiot only six months after I got it and its damn frutrating to know someone nearby has done it. But £300 doesn't sound too bad for your repair, still hurts I know, but was expecting it to be more.

Yea thats the only good thing thats come out of this i thought it would have been around 700ish for some reason. I dont get the mentality of some people about keying cars and vadalising ect and the common decency to stop after youve smashed into someones motor.. i mean it just goes to show what type of society we are living in now adaysI use to get the red mist when this happened (probably once a month), until I owned 2 cars and parked in the space infront of my elise. I just couldn't see the elise at all when straightening up to the curb, too narrow and low. from that point i stopped blaming people and accepted that it must be garaged if I wanted to keep the car in good shape.

Most noble of you but the fact is the driver sees the Elise as they work out where the parking space is. Then, as they line up to back in, they see, as you, it is not easy anymore to judge where it is.But they carry on regardless, damage the car and drive off. I would say that once they decide to carry on despite the difficulties, this makes it close to 100% certain that they are very aware of when they do hit the car.
Such people do not deserve any kind of respect or positive comment at all.
