Hi all,
I have purchased a belly pan and all mounting hardware for my 4V however there is some damage that needs filling. The item is stamped BMW and also pfeba on the inside. The belly pan is quite flexible and about 6mm thick. Under the paint the composition is very pale yellow and when heated, very soft. Any idea what the material is, and what do you suggest to repair any damage with. Would flexible plastic putty work? 
Thanks for your help

The normal fibreglass matting and epoxy is the stuff to use. My RT fairing had 3 broken mounts where the antlers attach. I had to rebuild those with epoxy resin putty and then reinforced around them with fibreglass. I also had a major crack around the r/h mirror which the PO had covered over with bog.
Three or four layers of fibreglass on the inside and filled the crack outside with epoxy putty. Don't rush it. Let the resin cure slowly. It will be much stronger.

The fairing is solid and fiberglass is fine, the belly pan is very flexible, I assume to withstand stone chips.
I have a spare 16v belly pan and mounting in my garage, but fear that postage would be prohibitive if anyone wanted it.
