Default dropped the lower spoiler

usual story, parked against a bump stop and didn't realise. reversing out i stopped, but too late to prevent tearing the lower spoiler 1/4 off the car (lhs in front of the front wheel).

the tear is along the top of the moulding - where it turns at right angles and mounts under the bumper, and it looks as though it could be repaired, and be virtually unnoticable. has anyone attempted welding the plastic together, and if so, what did you use to do this?

thanks

Default Look for plastic epoxy. Used it many times on my old RC cars. Could also.....

..... grab some plastic strips of whatever, and after it is epoxied together, use a soldering iron and melt the plastic pics together ( on the BACK SIDE of the broken part. Sort of "plastic welding" which I have also done. Lots of ventilation needed!!
