Plastic moulding repair

Mrs M has broken the black plastic moulded sidelight housing on her nearly new wheelchair. It appears to be repairable. But what adhesive? nothing to indicate the actual material, but it feels and looks like the stuff used on cars. Hotmelt glue, or Araldite Rapid, or something else?

JB Weld will do the trick m8 stronger than Araldite and black in finish if it helps :)
mixed the same as Araldite too, usually aquired from car shops but might be a little difficult to get.. my local shop dont sell it... halfords ran out...

available on line here about £7.50 inc postage (no idea if that is good price or not - just a possible source)

Thanks for thr info, I'll see if I can get it locally, and also how much a new part will cost, but I think it's a repair job.
