Hi,
This is more for information than anything. The panel in the title is one that is rotten on a lot of motors. The vehicle I purchased had a homemade attempt to recreate it. Wasn't going to work.
There appeared to be a couple available sold by VP but without the light holes.
I contacted Simon at Brookhouse and they actually have the last genuine one (never to be sold) on loan from VP as a template. They had one made up for me with the light holes by the guy who makes their rear panels and it looks bob on. I will have to add my own drain holes but it makes sense to try and line the inner and outer panels up and then add the holes. The upshot of all this is that this previously obsolete part is now available again. I hope this is of use to someone else and I haven't broken any forum rules by posting this.
