you can get the panel but they are quite expensive and they might take some finding :(

depends on the quality of finish you are looking for its very difficult to weld a panel in and it look like there was never a window there :D your best bet would proberbly be cut the panel out of a scrap mk3/4/5 van and hide the join on the bend :D

You could window film them then plywood the inside, for added security.
