The grill is made from ASA so acetone could be used to weld the little section in place.
You need to know it’s there to see it from a meter away.

That's quite the invisible mend.

I could’ve sanded it smooth and make it virtually disappear but I like those little victories so much, I don’t mind being reminded bout it at a car wash.

Hell yeah! Love to see fixes like this. I've got a couple that I'll get together to post but this one is really special.

That's awesome! What's the replacement piece printed out of? I've got a few pieces of my battered and beaten car missing. I've not put enough thought into what kind of plastic would be best in the wild weather conditions.

I would guess that it's ABS. Most car parts are made out of ABS so it should weld seamlessly.

Close, the grill is ASA and the patch is ASA too.
