To be honest I really wouldn't bother. You'll just scratch it again somewhere else lol... this is why I never bother repairing little scrapes. Depends how much OCD you have!
Id have a go at that 1st myself with some 2000 grade paper and a blast with the da with a selection of compounds and polishes, if it still looked very noticeable, id have to get it done, i couldnt live with that tbh.
I wouldnt pay 165 for that corner blending tho.

Did the guy wear a mask when quoting you?
I wouldn't bother yet to be honest. If you're a new driver you might have a few bumps and scrapes to come yet anyway.
You'd be more annoying if you spent money to get it done and then did exactly the same thing a couple of months later.
It doesn't even look that bad. I've got much more on my Clio!

Hope I don't have any more scrapes because I will get killed! It's only about a nail deep but what annoys me is there is like pink bits where the scratches are :S This normal?
If it hasnt gone all the way though to the plastic, you will be able to get it out if you are careful, where you from mate?

If only you were nearer
Try a good buffing with G3 cutting compound might work. I have a rather large scuff on the rear bunker of my Astra and I was only quoted £80 off a quick repair guy.

Lol THIS ^^ perhaps hes spraying both bumpers !!
If the price includes VAT , for a full bumper, removed / refitted without a lacquer blend then its fairly cheap IMO. Leave it well alone, dont wet sand it thats for sure, if its factory paint you will have to breath on the edges for it to go through. The most id do is a little polishing compound, avoid a smart repairer, they are a VERY mixed bag unless you know they will do it properly and in controlled conditions.
