Bad start to 2016 :-(
Some kind person decided to drive off and not leave any details from this damage in a Tesco car park. I'm always more than happy to park in the far corner of a car park where it's quieter to try and avoid incidents like this happening. Now I've calmed down a bit, the damage doesn't appear to be too bad. Will need a new colour coded strip which runs along the bumper, a new chrome piece underneath it plus clips, and the scuff on the side could be polished out and there's a small dent which can easily be sucked out too. Looks like it's pushed either the boot lid or bumper out of alignment ever so slightly as well so that will need looking at.
Some peoples' lack of care absolutely staggers me sometimes.

Good Luck. My experience is that the angles are never good enough to read number plates.
I am beginning to think that there is a forum somewhere that A8 damagers belong to. Another new word invented by yours truly.

That stinks! Its not like they wouldnt have known that it had happened.
The only upside of my wifes mobility issue is that it entitles her to a blue badge and i get to park in a wide bay - but, even then, the length of the car means that the car is "exposed" at either end to careless car (and trolley) drivers .
