just get what need to be done mate is that 450 with all scratches ,how bad are the scratches are they down to metal if not they should polish out,£400 for front rear bumpers is a bit to much i thinks but prices are diffrent every where mate.

There's a place near me who charges £90 a panel, oven baked and a very good job. He does alot of work for the old Ford Escort RS lot

Double what you've been quoted, plus vat is a ball park figure that i'd charge a "walk in" customer and a lot of bodyshop will charge more again, generally you get what you pay for.
