Fairing repair, is it worth it?

Hi there, I've got an '94 Strada, which is generally in very good condition.. however, one thing that is bugging me at the moment is the left-hand fairing.

The bike looks like it has been dropped at some point, resulting in a couple of minor scrapes and cracks in the left hand fairing panel. It's the sort of thing that probably isn't noticable unless you know it is there (in all honesty, had the previous owner not pointed it to out me, I probably wouldn't have noticed it myself in my eagerness )

So - I guess the question is, is it worth getting the fairing repaired..? I have no concept how much it would cost for the necessary plastic repair (I'd suspect it would fall under the category of "minor repair") and subsequent respraying/decaling/laquering. Has anybody here had any experience of this, with whom, and how well did they manage to colour match?

Given the scarceness of bodywork, I suspect it may be as cheap to get the work done, as to source a replacement panel.

Thanks,
Mike
