Default 91 1000fm tail section needed or advice on repair

Hi everyone, I've had my bike offroad for over a year now and finally have the time to get it sorted. I took it off the road as i noticed the mounts on the back of the rear fairing had snapped / crack and a couple of the cracks were wondering off and was about to cross part of the panel that isn't hidden by the seat. I messaged a few panel repair places and they all said a new unit is needed. I was hoping to get it repaired as the unit itself is imaculate and i worry that getting the colour match and graphic replacement would be a right nightmare or if its even possible at all. On the offchance somebody has one in perfect contition in the right colour variation for sale i would definitely be interested in buying. I feel the likelyhood of that is slim though so first question would be does anybody feel this is repairable with being plastic welded or something? I will attach pictures. Failing that then would it be possible to get replacement graphics from anywhere as i've looked where i know and they arent obtainable anymore as OEM. Also does anybody know what paint code it is? I have found replacement panels on ebay for about £100 just in the wrong colour so it is an option if i can get it looking correct

Thankyou very much for any advice given
calum

On youtube I've seen people use super glue and tissue paper to repair plastic clips.
Might be worth an experiment.

I have had some success with plastic welding, using a soldering iron. But on a clip like that , it might not be strong enough.

You can repair by filling crack with native material: ABS
Look for "ABS repair kits" which comes with slurry of melted ABS.
Grind V-notch along back and fill with slurry.
