New Baleno damaged in traffic – repair or door replacement?

My 2026 (aug) Baleno (only ~1600 km driven) was hit from the side by a tempo. The tempo driver accepted fault. I have ICICI Lombard Zero Dep insurance.The door has dents, deep scratches and paint damage ,photos attached. Should I ask the authorised Maruti service centre for genuine door panel replacement, or is proper denting + repainting better?

I want the car restored as close to new/factory condition as possible.What would you guys recommend based on the damage? Also, any experience with insurance approving door replacement?
