I quite agree Giles, what can look superficial, can be expensive to fix, especially if rental cars and car delivery one on top. Paintwork and labour to do repairs is pretty costly too. A drive off scrape to the rear bumper and wing edge of our Freelander ended up a £1200 bill, the police were notified of the incident luckily by a witness.
I wish you well, I'd you have witnesses your insurance should stand a reasonable chance to claim against the Polo driver.
Hope you have it sorted soon
