Door and fender can be buffed off and touch up if the scratch is deep, side skirt and bumper has to be re-paint ! my car is same color as yours and was hit my shopping car the scratch was worst than yours but i got some chemical to removed them without touch up, your scratch will take me less than a min to fix.

The scratches don't look too deep. If it catches your fingernail, it's too deep. If not deep, the scratches are in the clear coat. Otherwise use a good rubbing compound. What it does is remove a small layer of clear coat thus removing the scratch. The bumper looks too damaged. The bumper kit is a good idea to hide it and looks awesome.

The side skirt can be painted cheap with "Dupli Color" <<< this is the only automotive CHEAP paint Brand that match with OEM color, your bumper is kinda harder to fix but you can fix too, sand it off with 2500 grid sand paper carefully and use compound primer and then Dupli Color, right after you done it will looks different but it will looks the same after awhile, after a rain or a Sunshine or snowy, if you want you can paint the whole bumper but a lot of work though.

Try using toothpaste if the scratches arent too deep it will work. Use a microfiber towel or a regular paper towel rub it off let it sit for 10 min first before.

Thanks all again..
to minimize painting jop on the car i am planning to do like this:
1- side skirt must be painted.. no other solution.
2- fog light fin for the front bumper will do the jop..
3- for the left door heavy scratches - i will take the car to a proffisional detailing shop.. see what they can do.. may be it will end up well..
at that point i need your help.. any one know any supplier that ship the front fog fins f-sport style internationaly?? Ebay and amazon guys wont
