The sheet metal panels are spot welded and sealed. The welds can be drilled and welding the new part on fills the holes.
I think that it would be best to have the shop/person that is repairing your car have the whole front of that parts car. That way you know that the parts are removed complete and correctly.
DFreswick has some pics in his for sale thread that might help you visualize the construction of the front:

I can probably scan and email a few pages of the manual if you need to see any particulars. I don't like to post too much of it directly
