You sue the person. Or, if you know the identify of his insurance carrier, you file a claim with it.

He damaged it on purpose by snapping off the window wipers and smashing a wing mirror, how do I sue him? Get a solicitr you mean?

England does have small claims courts so I would look for that in your area.

Ah. Since you now have indicated that he was on foot, forget what I said before about insurance.
