Advice needed on broken Door Sill replacement.

Hi Guys

Would appreciate some advice.

One of the many 'interesting' drivers here in the Balkans forced me up a kerb this weekend. The lovely grinding sound that ensued turned out to be my door sill trim being bashed heavily underneath. It only just made it home. (not sure if the Ski Through Storage option would have coped with that!). Same incident also shattered by side mirror but will leave that for another thread to avoid confusion.

The part looks like this this in the catalogue

From a cursory examination I would say that several of the clips (5) in the diagram are also broken as well as a lot of scuffing to the unit.

Has anyone got any experience on replacing these sill trims? I had an initial look and wondered if they could be fitted without removal of other parts - as it seems you slide laterally into the clips and there doesn't appear to be room at the moment. Or perhaps you replace the lot?

Any advice on how hard a job, how expensive a job etc. would be much appreciated. Can go and take some photos of the damaged parts if you feel it necessary

thanks
