Re the scratch.....have a look at a smart repair. They just repaint the prepared scratch not the whole panel. Basically flat the area then spray. Using a small spraygun/airbrush. They have colour matching and mixing equipment and can leave you a small bottle of paint for touch-ups.Here in the UK Chipsaway is one company. I nearly took out a franchise years ago. Went to their base for a demo and was seriously impressed.
My dad was a coachbuilder and I did lots of work with him so my (limited) knowledge helped assess the quality.
Similar for dents. If the paint is intact they tease the dent out so no repaint.
I’ve done some smart repairs myself. Airbrush, dent teasing and wet sanding prior to polishing. I got a pro in to remove a dent in a previous Morgan. Took him 20 minutes and perfect.
The light lens.... my car has the high level brake light ( Cobra type). No lens screws nor unscrew option. Looks like a tight clip in fit. Never had to remove that type in the past so hopefully no bulb replacement needed !
