where are you from Miranda. If the damage can be fixed you can have someone weld it up.

Mine was fixed earlier this year and looks good as (once I get the decals sorted)

Agree on the fix it option if you can

But occasionally you will see Fazers going up for breaking which might be an option (plus a respray) or you have ebay - most require spraying as well and aren't cheap - usually around £150~

Take it off and weld it using a soldering iron melt wrote staples into it (like paper clips) to reinforce it sand and fill it and books your aunty

The Wurth fairing repair kit uses staples for reinforcement but as a long term plastic welder I know that the wire staples will not hold long term and the repair will split in the future, As for a Soldering iron, Seriously? for one they don't get hot enough for an affective repair which will leave the crack still there in the surface of the plastic. I have had to fix fairings where people have used a soldering iron, staples, and even parts of a coat hanger to fix it.

If your gonna get the job done, do it properly and with the right tools and materials

Don't do it, as stated its a botch and wont hold. and then when you get a prop job done the person doing it will have to cut out your botch and start again making the repair much more expensive
