whoops

Hi,
Your advice please.
My 1000DS SS toppled over and has put a small j shape split in the fairing just on the recess where the indicator bolts on.
There is no real damage to the paint, and the split is barely visible, but i notice it every time i look at it. The bike basically landed on the indicator, and not the fairing.
My local dealer says he can plastic weld the split, but this will damage the paint and the fairing will need repainting which is somewhat extreme.
I reckon i could glue the joint, and a small ammount of touch up paint would probably mask the split.
What type of glue would i need and is there a Halfords car paint that matches (the red one)?
The other option would be to bolt a fairing indicator over the recess area.
Does anyone have any experience with doing either?
