I'd say Gorilla glue .........but it expands when it cures, and puffs out
some, and is yellow, but the excess can be cleaned off somewhat.
you could try that one - easy to find in most hardware stores.

but here's one I've had good luck with ........
it cures glossy black though - so not perfect if it shows.
the product is POR 15..........which I bought in a body shop supply store
........a professional grade body shop supplies store, not just a FLAPS.
It's for filling smal dents, is sandable, etc.
but works on grills too.  Comes in black or white, and I've only seen the
black stuff.
But that stuff worked.

of if you want to upgrade to quad headlights and drill, like 86's and up
have, I have a whole set of that stuff, including grill,
and new white plastic adjuster thingeys for the headlights, that I'd sell.
