This is the only picture I have of a Ford Fiesta that pulled out on my mum yesterday. She didn't get any details from him, but we believe he lives in the Bolton area. Her bike hasn't been seen by the insurers yet, but it pretty well smashed up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. All I have been able to get is ???? P?K, but that is hardly useful.

I assume those are the highest res pictures you have?

The damage to the front of the car should make it easier to spot if there's any doubt though (assuming you see it again).

They were taken by a passer by, on their phone. So unfortunatly they are the only pictures I have. I just thought that someone may have a good piece of software which would show at least one or 2 more letters for the insurance company to go by.

First letter looks like a Y, and the last 3 PVK. Can't make out any numbers though.

wouldnt b surprised if its been stolen.
the insurers will be able to look on the vehichle database for red focus's with the two letters that you can identify and the police will check any (should do anyway) to see if any has matching frontal damage

After a little play in photoshop, it looks vaguely like K99 PVK
but the first 3 are really dodgy and just mild guess work.

It's definately a 5 door Ford Focus. Bit of a different colour to what you normally see too. Sorry cant help with the plate.

Try a specialist photo shop, as they might have proper equipment that they're keen to test to see if they can pick up the detail. If not, the police should be able to do this.

I doubt its possible to do much more with it, you cant create what isnt there in the original image. Worth a try like.

Off topic, that does my head in in films, grainy video camera, where they zoom in and say "enhance" and its all clear again.

Don't think it's K99 PVK

Try it on here and it's not found.

Try any ides you have and it might help.

Think about it, far too new car to be K.

An estimate it's probably 99 or 98, so more like S or T or something along those lines.

It's a focus not a fiesta. They are focus wheels, and the shape isn't right for the new fiesta.

Unless of course it's personalised plates. My car is a 2003, but reg number starts K99 (but it's not a red fiesta!)

I think the last letter is an M, but very difficult to tell at the angle the pic was taken.
