Broken sidemarker repair suggestions
Ok so just as the title says, I have a broken side marker. That square piece that sticks out and is held on by the screw, hope you know what I'm talking about, has snapped off. My car is lowered, Under estimated the dip and as I scraped itpulled the front bumper down hard enuff to break it I'm assuming.
Any suggestions on what to connect these 2 plastic pieces again? Super glue, epoxy, etc.

well obviously im trying to avoid buying a new one otherwise i wouldnt have started this thread. just thought maybe someone might have had a similar issue and found an easy/cheap repair.
hmm...ya it would be the easiet but i think ill save that as a last resort. for now its being held on by superglue so in the mean time that will have to do until i find another solution. im not good at fiberglass =( but ill give it a try. what about JB weld? hahaha

I zoom therefore I am.
jb weld is a type of epoxy. go to a hobby store and get some 15 minute epoxy and fiberglass. clean everything really well, cut pieces of fiberglass to cover the broken area and then some. Cover as much as you can. Mix epoxy, wet the fiberglass with it, smear some on the marker, put on fiberglass.. then let it cure. if you covered up any holes just drill them back out.
