Inform the police and your insurance company that they are making a fraudulent claim.

i'd be looking to get pictures of the damage caused, if you dont have any, try and pay thier house a visit and get some. you need to show the only damage was a wing mirror

Good point!

Also take pictures from a few angles and distance.
As well as the other panels of the car to show no other damage in case he decides to add some for the claim.
