Pulled the dash out of the parts berlina, the dash isn't too bad and is already the correct color that I want, so I am stashing it for now

And as I suspected the VP remotes match to the anti theft module.

Had a go at blocking the existing factory primer. its super easy to sand and sould save me a lot of work and not requiring as much new primer.

After some few hours playing around with the dollys and hammer I got this part pretty good, filed it with the panel file I bought to check flatness and seem pretty damn close, did a bit more work after this pic was taken.
