I'm going with "dropped it in the garage" for $100.00 Alex.
Six hundred for a fairing sounds like you're getting off easy, I lost a screw (same ones that hold all the body panels) changing out my headlamps, a replacement cost me $7.00 for one stinking screw!
I'm not sure by your description what tab you're referring to but if its out of sight how about an aluminum backer riveted to repair it, also there are plastic welders, check the yellow pages.
