94 e320 Bumper cover repair

The corner of the "plastic" bumper cover is broken into several pieces. I have all the peices. Can they be glued back together? And if so, what kind of "gue" should be used?

Thanks
Bob

My front bumper ('94 E320) was also broken below. I bought a new primed ready for paint bumper from http://www.partstrain.com/ for less than $130, paint and supplies were $125, I painted and clearcoated it myself, very easy part to replace. Body shop wanted $1200 to do the job. IMO, when these bumpers break, they are not worth fixing.

There is a process called "plastic welding" for polyurethane bumper tears and dings. Google or www.eastwood.com

Thanks guys. Great suggestions for a guy trying to keep his Benz and 3 aspiring children in college at the same time.
