I had a rip on the corner of my bumper and I managed to glue it quite well with Q-bond which I bought at repco. The rip was under a high amount of tension too so its holding amazingly well.
I was sliding around a roundabout a couple of times and was a bit dizzy
So the front bar hit the step and it cracked.
Its only a shittly fibro one and ive got some oem one but wouldn't mind getting more use outta this one.
How would i fix it?
I was thinking get some alloy plates and megapoxy it to the back?
Any ideas?

lol this is ripped in 3 spots and its dangaling..
it doesnt even match up when i try line it up!
ingredients: many cable ties, a drill bit slightly bigger than their width.
method: go nuts
seriously though, i shattered a front bar once (council truck spilt its traffic cones) and did the cable tie stitch,
the damage was ugly and broken in several places. the car was white, the cable ties were white, and from 10m away my mates thought i'd bought a new front. might be ghetto, but you're getting a new bar soon anyway. have a crack, it's kinda fun.
i want it to be some what clean lol..
good idea for the next hit the bar takes!
then get yourself some 24hour set epozy and and plates as you mentioned. Use G clamps or something like that to keep it together during the curing time..

clean up the parts with a grinder, with a grinding not cutting bit on it, mix up some resin and fibreglass, and put it it the back of the crack, glassing into the crack, then put a bit on the other side, wait for it to dry, sand till it's smooth and either glass over again or use some filler till your happy wiht it, then paint it

you know...fixing it...properly?
marine shop is the place to go, get some resin, hardner and cross stitch fibreglass matting.
i helped fix a mates front bar on his cefiro one day, came up pretty good. just don't use any bog, as as soon as you flex the front bar it will crack out.
just have to be very careful when you are sanding fibreglass, make sure you use a mask as the little fibres are bad for you....
