Valet Parking Smashes Nicky Hilton's Range Rover

Nicky got the bad news after walking out of dinner at Craig's ... the valet brought around her sweet black Range with a few improvements -- the right rear quarter panel was smashed in and the paint job was destroyed.

Nicky's friend Jeff Beacher handled the paperwork for Nicky, but we gotta hand it to her -- most people would go OFF on the parking attendant, but then again most people don't have Hilton money.
