Any of you chaps got any recomendations for one of these. My lads taken a chunk out of the lower bumper spoiler of his Corsa.
I've got the broken bit and I fancy a go at plastic welding it. Can't find anyone local who CBA and some folk quote silly figures even SMART repairers.
I'd rather spend the cash on some kit

Soldering iron - use it to melt the bits together on the back side, try to pull the pieces over each other to stitch the bits together for strength.

Exactly what the chaps have already told you - soldering iron with a large tip - you can purchase plastic bumper welding ribbons on e bay very cheaply - avoid the fumes / use in a well ventilated area - tack into place initially or use a couple of alloy plates with self tappers to hold the piece insitu temporally whilst you tack it together - airline & blow gun help to cool / set the plastic has you move around the joint seam - it will not look pretty but that does not matter - then just sand back with a 80's disc on a DA / orbital sander and make good with filler - use a filler suitable for use with plastics though has these retain more flexibility than standard fillers.
