Disaster has struck - car almost undriveable!

[HPsauce]

You know how it is, just one little thing breaks and it's a total disaster.
I'm not sure how I'm going to cope now, my S8 is almost undriveable.

Yes, the drivers armrest has broken off.



It's the square cross-section casting that goes across the top of the pillar connecting (and mounting) the two armrests. Snapped through on the drivers side.

It looks like taking the armrests apart is a no-no and getting a replacement bit of metal probably impossible, so is this an "opportunity"?

It's a PF car, and I've always liked the look of the D2 FL armrests. I'd need one with space for a phone handset (or are they all like that?).
Are the FL armrests mounted the same way, so just can just be bolted onto the existing pillar, or does the pillar have to come out too (I gather it's a tapered fit so careful tapping and prising to free it)?

Platinum interior, so nice grey leather armrests. Any matching FL ones available anywhere?

Edit: Not yet, but some nice FL ones that are a very close match are now fitted.
