Repair or replace?
Discussion
I am fairly new to cars so I apologise in advance if my questions seem obvious or illogical. Thank you in advance for any advice offered.
I am trying to repair my skoda kodiaq 2019. It ha so has a front side collision.
I need to replace the headlamp but I noticed that lug with the hole in the plastic chassis which the head lamp attaches to is snapped off. I don't have it otherwise I could have glued it back on.
I didn't know if there was some way to glue or weld on another lug or if I needed to change the whole radiator support panel
I enclose a pic of the car and a parts diagram.

Thank you. I did see this, but I couldn't figure out what it would attach to? https://ebay.us/m/yXru0O

I can't really see from your pic what isn't there, so can't be specific, but in a general answer to your question, if you have the other side to compare it to, plastic welding is quite a simple solution to missing/broken plastic parts.
Hi. Here is a pic of what should be there. There is a bolt missing. I am not sure the parts listed will fix this. I think they are for the headlamp side. Any advice is appreciated Bob2611 said:

Any advice is appreciated Without seeing the headlight bracket also it is impossible to tell, having said that it certainly looks like the repair part could be for the headlight itself.
