Was driving in a 2 way road

Road was rather narrow

Had a side mirror collision of my car and her car coming from opposite lane

Both me and her car stopped, both cars are in the lines (at least the tyres are)

She came out of her car, apparently for her car the mirror dropped so she picked it up, looked at my car went back to her car and drove off

My car's side mirror seemed to me okay (mirror didn't drop) so I ... Was waiting for her to walk to my car if she wants to talk about it, but she drove off so I drove off too

I found a place to stop and checked at my side mirror, seems like it's all good, no scratches, nothing unusual

Let's say in event if she lodged a police report, any advise on that?
Or am I too paranoid?

No issue, report for hit and run require proof/evidence. Without any evidence, there is nothing the police can do even if a report is lodged some more the incident is a very minor one. Also as described by yourself both of your cars are still within each own lane when the incident happened. Just a 2 cent, maybe adopt a more defensive drive in the future to avoid the same from happening. This time, u may be lucky not to have any damage to your side mirror but doesn't mean the same will continue in the future happening.

I'm not sure
I only caught in my rear mirror she looked at my car for a while before getting back into her car and drove off

when closely inspected there is some scratches on the side mirror lamp, but the whole thing itself is perfectly functional

Would you recommend me to do a police report, just to keep a record, and perhaps a peace of mind?

Anything will be in my disadvantage if she have my place number and lodged a report?

But I don't have her plate number...
