Source of body panels in UK

Does anybody know a company supplying W116 body panels in the UK, preferably the South-East?

I need a rear panel/rear valance. I cut out the rear panel from a donor but it was far too rusty for use on mine during restoration.

Go on Youtube and search wheeler dealers, and the 230E buy:

They replace the drivers side wing by buying a new wing in some mega car superstore. It is a W123 but I am sure you can find the W116 parts as well. It is not a genuine part and made out of thinner metal, and will need adjustment to fit but you do save quite a bit (I think they paid 27 pounds) and have some fun working the panel into place!

Doesn't look like oldpanels.com has MB parts available. I did look Wheeler Dealers program about the W123. Good show. The Essex bloke doing it is annoying but nevertheless entertaining :) :) Not sure about which parts megastore they are talking about though, could be Euro Car Parts which have become massive over the past 15 years.
