Hi Big Denny - have a look back through these repair threads - and look at several which mention "drill and Pin" method - you will find a few of them. This will show you what is involved - and help you decide whether you have the skills required to do it.
If you don't (there's only one way to find out though- at the end of the day) - then you will find that several of the guys show you how it's done - and some can help you out and rescue your broken bits.
Chips to paintwork have also been dealt with by several of the guys (sometimes the same ones), and - relatively speaking, are usually much easier to fix.
My advice therefore, is go back through the threads - and have a good read. You will then be in a better position to decide how to proceed.
Hope that helps - johnnybach
