That looks like some hardcore damage (in the first and second picture)... if you repar it, there might still be a very small crack that could only be hidden by a repaint. And then, the spoiler will be weaker, and more prone to damage. I think your best bet is to buy a new one, carnewal has some reasonable prices.

The entire chin spoiler will be repainted anyway if fixed to help with some of my scrapes from my low car

Do NOT do that, a carbon fiber one would be much more prone to cracking and getting destroyed than the stock piece. IMHO I'd get the stock non-aerokit piece that sits flush instead of the "chin-out" aerokit piece.
