I would imagine some sort of hardcore araldite would be the go... something that will cope with a hot day cabin temp.

The plastic is too "greasy" to be glued, so you're out of luck on that front.

You can have the plastic "welded" using a soldering iron to close up the crack, then throw on some car filler, sand it flat and spray paint it.

Alternatively try and get your hands on a carbon fibre surround like many of us have had to do.

    G_A_V did something similar when he did his carpc:

    Unfortunately the links to the pics are broken so you might need to get him to fix them up.

    Actually, I think scarecrow had a go at fixing it as well:

    And of course his picture links are broken too
    LED ALL the things.
