Default cracked front splitter

i have a cracked front lip spoiler from litchfield imports on a 54 plate sti. its black but the grey plastic fibres are visible where its cracked. hit a speed bump i thought i could go over!!
its still stable but looks awful. got it taped up at the mo but does anyone know if it can be repaired with some fibreglass resin and re painted? If so could you give me some instructions on where i can get the resin/ primer etc and how to fix it.

ive just mending a whacking great crack in my front splitter, used stuff from halfords, bout 6 quid it was and will give u enough to last until you crack it again haha. you just mix it togethor, paste it on and sand it down to a smooth finish once its set then spray.

When I helped my friend fix a crack on his sideskirt, we used a product called Fastglass Glass Fibre Kit from Halfords...think it cost something like 8quid. Worked very well.
