I have a rear lip on my EK, and driving with speedhumps every 2 metres stuffed up my lip. Went a bit fast on one and resulted in cracking the rear lip. Anyone got any suggestions on fixing this ?

You could try contacting a plastic welder, but this isn't cheap. If it's a replica lip that you can replace easily then I would consider doing so as you'll probably spend more getting it plastic welded.

you could do a quick job and fiberglass it, youd have to sand and respray though for it to be done properly. might not be worth it if its a replica as mentioned

I snapped my rear lip and front lip paid to get them
Both repaired and painted and funny enough they snapped while I was installing...

That was the day I learnt once its broken just replace them

Yep. A good quality one will flex a lot more than those hard/brittle ABS plastic replicas. You get what you pay for, as they say...

If you dont care too much about looks, just drill holes on both sides of the crack, and put cable ties through them

A quick search came up with this-
