You might get away with that not being a write off but the insurance wont go on just the value of the repair its having to give your missus a hire car for a week and extra admin over just paying out for the car.
Personally if you have the quotes in writing I'd try and get the woman up to £250 and take it then push the dent out as best as possible as its only shallow and get a replacement door off ebay.
I wouldn't be going through the insurance as your girlfriends insurance will go up even though she wasn't at fault as it shows she parks in areas where her car is likely to be hit by other people
