Default pictures of fairing..need help on how to start fixing cracks

ok guys,so i took my fairing off which i thought was going to be much harder,like i had posted before i tipped my bike over like an idiot and decided to fix the cracks myself,so right now the fairing is off and im ready to start working on the cracks.if someone has done this or knows how to fix cracks please let me know how to start off lol.i know i have to buy a welding pen but i want to know what other things i need and also what kind of sand paper and pretty much what materials i am going to need.i would really appreciate your guys' help since i want to finish this and get riding again..well here are the pictures..you can see the crack on the fairing and i took off the honda stickers because the previous owner had covered more cracks with those stickers..by the way this bike was pretty much custom,custom fairings and the tail is custom,previous owner made it from scratch and put r6 tail lights on it.

Do not use conventional bondo, it doesnt adhere to plastic well. Pick up a package of bondo's Bumper Repair Epoxy. Its a black 2 part epoxy that remains somewhat flexible. Worked for my fairing, and mine was in 3 pieces.
