Rust under front bumper

Wonder if anyone can point my in right direction. I’ve been searching for a good link, site or thread that covers the repair of the ‘swimming pool’ panel under the front bumper. All I seem to find is people patching or treating the area. I have sourced a repair panel from Schofields but this seems to be just for the vertical face.
My body shop guy has told me to start collecting all the panels I’ll need before starting the strip back.

Any resources out there? Or am I missing a really obvious panel I can’t seem to find?

Many thanks in advance guys!

Or £55 if you really only want the panel you mention.Personally i would go with the panel mentioned above.
