Default cracked front bumper

Can you call it a bumper? Anyway, I cracked the front plastic in a couple places hitting a snow bank today. What is an easy fix? Some kind of PVC cement? Any help is appreciated!

Nope, that wont work but feel free to give it a try and let us know how that goes.
There's only a couple quality ways to fix the problem and lots of back yard ways. Which do you prefer?

You maybe better off replacing the bumper fascia with a new one or from another van.

22d22, It's fine if it doesn't look good as new. The cracks are very minor. I just want to make sure it doesn't get worse. It's a work truck. The cracks/repairs will give it character. Are you saying pvc cement won't work, or will look bad?

Well, then try it and let us know if that's a viable repair method. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
