Identify the vehicle from these bits.
Someone has reversed into my wall and done a runner. It's done quite a bit of damage so would like to know who did it. CCTV points the other way so missed the event, but may spot the vehicle driving past if I have an idea what car to look for.
They've left a bit of their rear driver's side lamp behind.
First thought was a Freelander 2, but that's not the same...any ideas?

Found it! FFS, it's actually pretty obvious, but for anyone who is bored I'll leave it for a bit before giving the answer.

Based on country of origin and age, I'm going to say Audi A6 Allroad.

The fact I own a Mk5 golf is what made it easy to recognise

On my desk.
The only clear bit on outer glass is the round bit that covers the brake/indicator. It looks red because there is another coloured lens beneath it, sort of like lexus lights.
(I previously took one apart to see if I could swap the lens for one off a Altea as that has a spiral pattern when illuminated).

Can we have a before and after pic of the offending wall - just to verify condition before the supposed incident took place

Its also silver (found flecks of paint on the wall).
