This is the way i'd go... Get the reg and report it for leaving the scene of the accident.

Well the light unit is smashed mate, the bulbs still work so I'm gonna attack it with tape in the morning

I wouldn't mind having a nosey though and swapping bits over that are better on yours than mine because yours is being repo'ed isn't it?

sorry to hear your run of bad luck .
On another note i had an s14a 200 sx and though it was superior in some ways ,the actual straight line performance is quite similar justedging in favour of the nissan ,handling however the zs mauls the nissan .The nissan is fun as you can steer with your right foot but its not quick through corners like a zs ,you feel your getting a little too close to the edge all the time if you start pressing on through the bends .
Nissan has better build quality and arguably looks nicer ,also incredibly reliable if left standard ,turbo torque make it very quick at motorway speeds too.
I had a uk scoob turbo too ,2000my ,cr4p build quality ,awful handling but looked good after some detail mods and was reasonably nippy in a straight line.

Update!

Went over and had a word this morning before work and he admitted it was him and wasnt sure why he sped off. He told me to send him a bill...that i wasnt expecting!

My car looks the dogs balls at the minute, its got parcel tape on it and everything.

Glad you got it sorted, did you have a witness when he accepted blame? If not I would be tempted to get him to sign a statement that he acceps responsibility and will pay for the damage, or you will go through insurance/police. Dingoes charged me £50 to remove ding from door.

Get a quote from a garage first for the repair, and present it to the guy who damaged your car .... got to be worth getting a few quid off the guy. Use the, "well I'll have to report the matter" in your pocket until the last minute.
