It can repaired, but how long it will last for is another question. I would insert some rods for strength before bonding it back together and then digging out around the crack before filling it and sanding it down, but a professional may have a better way of doing it

yeh that was my thought too about inserting 2 metal rods and bonding

would be tricky though lining up the holes for the rods i guess

Unless you made the holes slightly over size to allow some movement and bond them in place and leave to set after lining up the crack

with the top level repaired and then mounted to the bottom half surely that would help with any movement to?

any idea what bonding would stick this really good

In theory yes, but at speed you will generate some downforce which will flex the spoiler. I would look for some sort of epoxy resin.
