You'll probably find they only come in sets, unless it's a front left, or rear right. They would be very hard to fix I imagine, as they're injection moulded plastic (I think) so they wouldn't be as easy to fix as fibreglass. They're very thin too. |

try that, and use some filler or fibreglass or something to smooth it off. sand it back a bit maybe. you want plastic "cement" (i think it might be called "polystyrene cement?) if you want to melt it a little to weld it together is it painted? |

I Don;t think the Modeling Glue will do it enough. Some of the modls I have done from Years ago (yer I know It has been some time) but they have come apart..it Give the Super Glue ago or the Loctite Super Glue I have seen Advertised of Late of Tv |

one of my flares was broken into four pieces. I did a decent job of fibre glassing it back together (not perfect by a long shot, but could have been). My flares were fibre glass to begin with though. you could try taking a mould of the broken one and forming a fibre glass one. maybe just buy a new one though |
