feedback wanted on what should i do (scratched front bumper and left headlight)

Hello everyone.

Recently my car was involved in an incident (pic rel)

Name:  5c8ed742-7076-4b93-afa8-21a1a8455cb6.jpg

I checked the ECU, i checked the documentation for vulnerable electronic components and wires behind the bumper and the headlight and i inspected them, everything is fine.

Now i need to figure out what should i do about the scratches themselves.

I don't know anything about bodywork, glass or anything related to paint, cosmetics, restorations...etc, i hope i got my point across.

I also don't know if i should make a claim on my premium (currently paying 1k euro) and pay increased rates going further or should i pay out of my pocket.

Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Most of that should buff right out. I’d have a detailed have a go at it before deciding on any expensive repairs. Good luck!

it does look deep I think you should get insurance involved or go to a reputable detailer and ask their opinion.
