Ok heres what ive been doing while waiting on parts and money. the pass side of the nose was broken from the top of the black piece by the hood, and was cracked to the marker housing. here are some pics, ive been using that loctight epoxy to repair and fill the cracks, then i have bondoglass to cover that, and i use evercoat spot putty for small stuff.

now time to sand i use 40 grit, feather out everything then apply epoxy until the crack is pretty much gone

Just a suggestion from personal experience. After repairing it will not take much for it crack or break. Hers's what I did. Sanded surfaces smooth and left a shallow groove on both mating surfaces. THEN, I drilled small holes about 1/4 inch apart on both surfaces. Then I actually sewed both pieces together with wire finishing up underneath and filling over the top with bondo/spot putty. Couple layers of primer and painted. Have not had a problem and it is strong. Will not crack or chip as easily as epoxy or bondo alone will.
