Being that it's a Porsche Cayman I can't imagine any repairs being cheap. Expect £1.5k+ as a definite, more likely £2.5k+. Go through your insurance. If they start talking about a hire car etc then the costs mount up.Honestly - I'd have a chat with him before doing anything. You've got nothing to lose. If he wants to go through insurance - great. If he says he will get a couple of quotes to repair the damage and then see what you both want to do, great.

But then if the car needs to be away for a day or two, will the OP be expecting to stump up for a hire car too? By all means get a quote but I predict it won't be cheap.£2500 to repair a scraped door handle? It's a Porsche Cayman not a McLaren F1.
Like I said, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by talking to the owner first. It may well be the case that the owner wants to go through insurance - in which case fine, no problem, but if he doesn't and the repair is £300, why would you force him to go through insurance?

a lot of people these days just seem to drive off after such incidents.
A main dealer and many garages will provide a courtesy car free of charge when doing repairs. Hire costs only usually come in when there are insurers involved.
I'm sure he'd love a new bumper, but he isn't going to get one if it's just the car door handle which has been scraped?I will be shocked if it's less than £500. He will likely want a new bumper, especially on such a prestigious car.
