Broken Bezel on 06 headlight fix?

Hello Fellow Drivers!
So yesterday i received a package for some 06 painted headlights w/out the front lens. When i opened the box there seemed to be a few cracks and pieces were broken off. Everything was settled with the seller and i got a partial refund so all good there. My question is, is there a way that i can fix the breakages?

PICS:



Damage on the lower shroud. Broke off in 2 pieces. Still have em


Crack through the bezel with obvious paint chips


One of the tabs broken off from the bezel. I still have it with me as well




There were damage to the headlights already so repainting them is a must so that doesnt bother me. What i wanna know is will this be repairable? Some type of glue/epoxy so i can put the pieces back and sand em down and repaint maybe? something i can cover some of the cracks with then sand/smooth down so it still looks sorta OEM? Anything helps guys. Thanks in advance!

ALSO if anyone has an 06 driver side bezel for sale let me know! Thanks

I would have demanded a full refund.

I wouldn't bother fixing them honestly. I would search for a new one.

Nooo i have the stock 03's on right now and i have a few sets of projectors that i was gonna retrofit an extra set of 03-05's that i have. But i got a good deal on a set of projectors that were already painted black but that didnt have the front lens on and when i received em the drivers side bezel was broken so i got a partial refund.

So now ill be looking to resand both of em and repaint em while having the broken one fixed or just look for another drivers side bezel and repaint em both to match. Such a headache to deal with the broken bezel though...

Actually not completely sure but i read on a couple threads that they are interchangeable. I would just install the 03-05 bezel in place of the 06-07 bezel and keep the clearance strip but i read also that those arent interchangeable might recheck when i get these 03-05's opened up

Hmm could. You think it can withstand heat? Referring more to the projector shroud if i use it there. Dont want it to melt or something randomly
