I don't think you'll be able to persuade them to change their valuation. I think they use reference data, based on trade values, that they have to adhere to.
Like I said earlier (here), same thing happened to me. It should be possible to get them to agree to give you a cash payout instead. In which case you would get to keep the car (without any recorded write-off against it) and the £2.5K that they would've paid you to replace it, though they may offer less as a cash payout, or deduct the scrap value. You're then free to take the car anywhere you like for the repair and have it repaired with used parts if you prefer.
