Is the middle section rotten though? If not I would just cut out what is needed. Even if BMW will stamp the middle (they told me 2 weeks ago they no longer do) it will come back rougher than a badgers arse

Yeah sod fitting a complete scuttle when yours just has a bit in the corner.

A stamped scuttle panel from BMW is under £50. You need the v5 of course.
