I did the exact same thing a while back and just paid for a new airbag - expensive, but worth it I think.
However, for what it's worth, I happen to have just sold my old Vauxhall airbag last few days so it's sitting on my desk - I'll snap a few photos of it later so you can see how it's constructed from the other side if you want, without removing it. From what I remember though, don't think the front cover bit will come off easily...
Oh and bear in mind the rear badge contains the boot mechanism (if it's the GTC). So it's not just a straight swap - need the new badge, and a different mechanism that sits behind it. Plus a bit of painting.
Front one is just straight swappable I think, but the bumper does need to come off.
Hope this helps.
