MA61 front bumper bar ~ Fix Split

Hey All,
My MA61 bumper bar is split at the bottom after some one split it with some force... I don't know what it was but at least it's at the bottom.
Is there a way to be able to glue the split together? If so what should I use?
Cheers.

To do the job properly you need to get it plastic welded. Speak to a body shop about this. I wouldn't expect glue to last long.

take the bumper bar, grab a soldering iron, warm it up and dig it into the back(side) of the split, nice and deep but not so deep it goes through and drag it along the length of the crack, then youll notice theres a channel through the plastic where the split used to be... "well that didnt help", not so, while its (the plastic) still warm, you use the soldering iron and push that material from the sides into the channel, then smooth it over by running the tip back and forth, simple as buttering bread 
although you have to watch out, DONT cool the plastic down with water, let it cool naturally, if it cools too quick itll become brittle and hence, ghey with teh aids, just let her cool down naturally
