Broke sharp fender corner piece off - glue back?

The other day I got my jeans hung on the corner of one of my fenders and snapped the sharp end off. Pictures of what I'm talking about are below. Does anyone know of what type of glue I should use to put it back and keep it there? It's a 98 Camaro v6. Much appreciated!

Wow, that really sucks. I'm not sure what kind of glue, but its going to look really bad unless you have a bodyshop fix that if they can.

Your best best if you are going to do it yourself would be remove the fender , if you can get to it while installed, use some type of epoxy and a price of plastic or even a metal bodywork patch that would bridge the broken piece to the rest of the fender. Glue it all together with the epoxy. Then you aren't relying on just the glue in the break to hold the piece together. You will still have a line though.
Just an idea.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try using some clear plastic under the fender to help bridge the glue and broken piece together. If that doesn't work I'll just break the other piece off on the other fender that way they'll match.
