repairing mk1 mini door bottom

I am having a mk1 sliding window door repaired, the skin was removed and the rust was seen, Looks like I am in need of a new door bottom.
The minispares version is pretty crude and agricultural and has more wrinkles than my grandmother

Are the M-Machine ones any better?
What other option do I have?
Thanks

Those creases look straight forward enough to dress out with a decent hammer. The other option is to ask your wrinkled granny for her PIN number ......

I used the m machine one and it fitted ok, has a few wrinkles in it but nothing too noticeable.

Bit of an evergreen subject this one. The MS panels are almost certainly Magnum panels. The Magnum LHS door bottom repair panel is OK but the tooling on the RHS has clearly been damaged as I've yet to see a good one. Go with the superior M-machine panels. 2016 discussion thread has a few comparison pictures. Vis:
