this is the problem now regarding old fords. Ford have now stopped making these panels as they are only required to make panels for a car 10 years after the ceasing of manufacture. Only real ways is to just keep posting on forums and keep your eyes peeled on auction sites and to ask around. Sometimes NOS " New Old Stock" panels do turn up. Ask the RS owners club as i know they bought the last remaining stock from ford a year or so ago. Other then that its just a case of hunting around

Sounds silly, but try Ford.
Had 2 a couple of years back for a S1 (used S2 quarter panels and cut the extra holes in). Not that dear either.
Left side -- 1634722
Right side -- 1634721.
Don't let them only look on Microcat (or eCat), make sure they look on "Rapid" as well. That is a better indication.
Jimmy (Charlie Luciano) knows exactly what I mean by that. The amount of parts he has got via Rapid and not Microcat.

I use them (SEL) every day in work and a lot of their stuff is sub-standard IMO. I would rather use Direct Automotive (run by the son of the owner for SEL as they had a bust up a few years back and separated). They run less stock but the quality is generally a little better on some/most stuff. They are just a little more fussy than SEL.
Generally, anything that is not "certified" by them (SEL/Direct) means that it does not meet the correct specifications by the o.e. manufacturer and certainly would not be recognised by most insurance companies under the latest PAS125 industry standard (lamps and most rads/air con excluded).
As far as 1/4 panels go, I would never touch one of theirs. The 1/4 panels for the MK4/5 Fiesta that they supply fit like crap and are cut almost to the bottom of the window aperture, so no facility for splicing in where you need, unlike a genuine panel.
