Good job!

I always use a propane torch and nail in some visegrips. The lids for rattle can spray paint works pretty well for filler as well. If you are picky you can find lids that are very close to your original color.

The final "heat treat" is very important for making the repair last. If you don't get the plastic just the right temp the weld will be kinda brittle, get it right and the weld is almost as strong as the original.
