Insurance claim in motion, lets hope its a swift resolve. I think I am going to have to start parking like an idiot across two bays in order to avoid damage in future

That's crap Lee. Sorry to hear this.
I think I'll also order one having done some reading. The DX20 looks good at £120 from Amazon.

I'm sorry to see this, it's bad enough when you can easily find the person responsible. I bet whoever did it was so oblivious to everything around them that they didn't even realise they had hit your car.

Judging by the impact, I am certain they knew they did it, but its the usual case of people just not respecting other people's property, I really hope that there is CCTV footage so that I am not left footing the bill

I have also suffered damage done by invisible individuals, we both really feel for you.
Nice clear recording, and I also use 64GB SD cards in my Roadhawk Dashcam. Mine does not have the enclosed battery so cannot do the "parked" monitoring. Looks like I'll have to save some more pennies for an upgrade. As an aside I notice rainspots on your bonnet Mark. Naughty boy, letting the OCD lads down.    Save</span>

 That was leaving Mackies. It was spotless when I dropped it off. Actually they did give it a quick wash though and I think the 'rainspots' were in fact over-spray from the other customers cars they were washing in the compound.

Sorry to hear about your damage: it's borderline immoral not 'fessing when you've done something like this - and doesn't that count as "leaving the scene of an accident" and therefore actionable on that basis?
I know how you feel though - I've had my car (the Tesla, not the S8, thank God...) driven into three times in the year I've had it  . In each case I was parked up and either in or next to the car, and with witnesses, so luckily no question of who's fault it was, but it's still traumatic and a ball ache to rectify. Hopefully you'll get a result soon...

Have we any threads on recommendations for models to buy, fitting / wiring in?
