Hard to tell, but you might be able to buff out that headlight, at least to the point where that scratching is not as noticeable. I see that in the quote they do not list a new wheel. It looks like that might need to be repaired/replaced as well. And, as Carsey mentioned, alignment or suspension might be compromised as well.
Are you asking because you are paying for the repairs yourself and not going through insurance?

Ill be honest with you this looks nothing compare to what my 2013 was.. i had damage the same but on the right side but it was worse. You dont really need half of the stuff they have listed you they just want money and they will sell youre stuff .
i dont think you scratched paint only clearcoat on bumper and fender(wing) because headlight "scratch" is the same
color brownish as bumper scratch.. try buffing off "scratches" with some diesel gas.. it should remove that brown stuff. Because if you scrath completly, the scratch color would be black because thats the color of bumper without any paint.
do not replace wing(fender) there is nothing wrong with that, wipe it with diesel ..
washer set i guess headlight washers? Dont replace it if it works, the only thing you need is the fog light.
Cant tell anything about undertrays.
For wheel arch check if plastic riped where the screws go, if they are ripped then you need to replace it if not just get new screws and screw them again.
after you do those then you can go back to the body shop and they will repair the scratches and riped part of the bumper
if you do get new bumper and fender, and if they color it i guaranty you the paint will not match 100% so they would have to fade the hood as well. Good luck!

The front bumper cover needs replacement. The front fender appears to have a crease in in and it is aluminum. They are hard to repair. Usually need replacement. Paint will need blend into hood and front door. There might be additional damage found once car is taken apart. Wheel looks like it has rash on it from picture. Suspension and alignment needs to be checked. In the USA, cost for said repair around 4000.00
