Cosmetic Repairs

So, I own a VTEC 2002 Honda VFR. I bought used it August '08. The previous owner had dropped it at least once, so it has some deep scratches and a few small cracks in the fairings. The tank also has a good size dent along with rippling in the metal (apparently he tried to push the dent out - ineffectively). I was wondering what the best way to make the fairings and tank look nice. I'm not too concerned about actually "fixing" the tank I just wanted some ideas for what to do. I thought for the tank I could probably used some bondo to fill in and smooth it out, but I'm not sure if that's the best idea and I have no clue what to use to fill-in the cracks/scratches on the fairings. The cheapest fixes possible would be ideal.
