Cracked Grill - Best Bonding Glue?

I purchased my G with a cracked grill (found out after the purchased) but the crack is in a very discrete spot. It's pretty much cracked all the way to where you can push it in. I am wondering if someone has a recommendation for a plastic bonding glue? Trying not to purchase a brand new grill since the crack is very discrete. It's cracked on the top right of the grill between the first and second chromed bars. I plan on plasti dipping it this weekend but want to see if there's something good to glue the plastic that someone here has used. Thanks in advance.

JB Weld is pretty strong stuff, I'd imagine Gorilla Glue may have something comparable as well.

You can find used grills for under $100, or if your good working with fiberglass, that would be best for the repair. Folks have also used bondo with decent results.

Thanks for the tip, I'll buy some and try it out this week.

Dj1, Yeah, I should probably buy a used one in case I mess up too. Thanks for the advice.

The grille is plastic. I'm sure epoxy would be more than enough to hold it. You can even get it in black I believe.
