Get your car to a repair bodyshop of your choice. The insurance company can only advise you where they want it to go - if they don't know the marque go somewhere that does.

You can take your car to any bodyshop, as Phil said, so choose one where you know the work will be ok (based on recommendation etc).
Did your car come with the TTE bumper originally or was that a mod ? If it was a mod, did you tell the insurance company ?

yh they can sell the car back to you as it is and then get paid the rest of the difference of the value of the car.

No from what I can understand just insurance company decided not to repair, but you are able to repiar and does not need to be inspected
