Default Broken bits - XKR dashboard

I have a 2008 jaguar XKR portfolio VIN SAJAC44R689B26015

I had the dashboard replaced with a new one last week by a garage in Melbourne and they unfortunately broke 3 parts at the front (as in the attached pictures).

Fortunately I can get those parts from the UK. I just need to know whether those 3 bits are replaceable without having to remove the dashboard again.

Could anyone provide me with some advice Sadly, technical expertise is severely lacking in Australia. Thanks very much.

Roger

Hello,
I'm thinking it a shop did that to my car under their care, they would very well stand behind the Gorillas they employ and make it Right.

I hope ;you can get those parts and get them installed Properly this time.

Welcome to the Forums.

Grahams link should yield answers if anyone has been down this road, I have not.
Many, many more members do frequent those Tech Section, very few visit here, as it is the NO Tech Section, as per the title.

Good luck.
