In general if a sidepanel has been straightened out with plaster the only thing you can do with it is exchange it for a (new) pair where the fittings for the logos are still intact.Maybe someone has a trick to get the plaster out without damaging the surrounding plastic.Your right side panel is lumpy because the paint is getting loose. There is air under the paint.
Can't think of any simple way of getting filler to come off plastic. Metal..yes. Plastic..no. It's also possible they have scored the surface to get it to stick better.
Its not worth putting the effort in to remove the filler. Flog them on eBay and put the money towards LPM panels
Oh dear, you have made a fatal restoration error........ Never compose a spreadsheet to keep track of costs, you'll give up when you realise how much you are spending and the bike will end up on ebay as 90% complete for peanuts 😯. Best advice is to do what we all do, keep the various receipts in a folder where the o/h won't find them and when you have finished the restoration count up the cost but don't tell anyone otherwise you'll never restore anything else!Delete the spreadsheet and just crack on, keep the updates and photo's coming and good luck with progress 👍.
