This is normal stock and trade work for modern body shops. The EXACT correct repair product is available. There is no need to guess about something working and having it fail after all the expensive finishing and painting.
Of course 3M is one supplier. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_EU/BodyshopSolutions/-/HowTo/RebuildATab/ There are others.
We have an Old Dodge conversion van with air dam bumper covers that nearly drag the ground. I backed into something and nearly broke one end off. About an 18" long break. Body man cleaned it up, stitched it together temporally with nylon ties and glued it back together. Repair can't be seen and is permanently repaired just like millions of bumpers and other plastic panels on cars on the road today. I imagine the type labeled for tabs and brackets is stronger at the expense of being less finish-able.
For small amounts it is possible to dispense with two dowels onto a mixing board rather than the expensive double barreled calking gun and mixer nozzles. Expect to pay about $35.00 a tube. Cheap.
Good luck.
