Update: Bought all of the replacement panels from BirkerzBits in Thailand (highly recommended took about 2 weeks to arrive in UK, paid VAT and duty). Bought new Ignition switch from Thailand also, it was the illuminated version which I just ignored and left unconnected. I got new internal pins for the OEM plug so it all fitted as it should back into the new ignition. Because the steering lock had been forced, I also needed to buy a replacement steering stem which bolts onto the central steering spindle.
One issue was that the gloss white panels didn't match my UK model, whilst ordered in Pearl white, the replacements had a golden hue whilst the original have a silver one. Consequently I replaced all the panels for new and it looks fab.
If anyone needs advice on similar damages and panel removal, I am now your man.

The scum had smashed the RH body panel and tore the wires out from the male plug but fortunately left it hanging on by the one black wire. however the internal pins are missing off the ends of the wires and only one of them remains in the plug.
I have bought and received a new ignition switch complete, the old one was smashed apart.
I now need to find a way to install new pins (the pins are actually female parts the ignition switch has 4 male terminals)
Anyone know if Maplin might be worth a visit?
