You could try JB Weld works good for motorcycle plastics.

QUOTE from the above site

This next part is an "extra." This car came from Texas. Texas is a state which requires the use of a front plate. Because of this, my car had two big and ugly screw holes in the facia. I asked Eric if there was anything he could do to fix this and he said SURE! He used a method/technique I had never heard of before. He put some Locktite Quicktite Super Glue Gel on a piece of 180 grit sandpaper. He then placed the dab of glue on the screw hole then began sanding. He said what this does is creates a very hard compound that is made of the super glue and dust from the sanding! He did this a few times with the gel then switched to using a superglue liquid on 320 grit sandpaper. This was then followed up by sanding with straight 320. The result was a filled hole that was smooth to the touch! This can be primered immediately and is much better than bondo because it won't shrink and/or crack! A very neat little trick which can also be used to repair small cracks and tears in fiberglass.




Well I thought this was an ingenious idea atleast

Yeah, I did too! I had never heard of that before and thought it was pretty cool. That held up good with no visible indications of the holes... until I smacked that deer and had the front nose replaced. Actually, those holes still looked fine but the entire piece being busted up didn't look so hot. LOL!
