I need help with plastic repair!!

Sorry for the caps, but I have a major problem. My highrise that just arrived the other day fell off the bench. When it hit the ground it took a chunk out of it. Heres my question- Is there anything to fill in the area that is missing or am I screwed? Its along an edge and is about 1 inch long. Bondo and plastic don't work together correct? Am I correct in believing that the spoiler is made from abs plastic? Thanks for any and all help.

Highrise wings flex and move A LOT while driving. If it's a big chunk, and you don't use a flexible plastic filler, you'll just pop that body filler out as you drive down the road.
