The console is ABS plastic, which is a PITA to repair, and requires adhesives specifically made for ABS. There are various glues you can get at the big box hardware stores which will work...look in the plumbing supply aisle where you will find them. You WILL have to cover the faces after you put all the pieces back together/fix cracks/etc. but covering it after fixing is probably the best course of action (unless you come upon an unmolested/cracked example...I just gave away my last solid console a couple weeks ago from my stash.)
Thanks for this Bryan - I had just assumed it was fibreglass when the complete absence of fibres in it should have alerted me different. D'oh! I'll look out for suitable adhesive - info very much appreciated.
