VX1000 lens break. HELP!	Can't Post

Recently i had a horrible accident with my vx1000. my friends board shot out from underneath him when we were skateboarding. his board hit my fish eye lens so hard that it snap of from the camera taking the first lens (uv filter?) with it.

here is a photo of the damage and where the lens has actually broken off from

any help is much thanked

ended up using some extra strenght araldite (spelling?) glue. had to clean the lens perfectly before i put it on and make sure no glue went on the steady shot parts.

works great now even with my fisheye on

seems stronger than before
