i have done a few tests on 5mm pvc wet wall before trying to fit a 1600 bathroom radiator, it's to be fitted on plaster board, there is a panel of sterling board inside the wall.
After a few try's to fit the rad fixing the wet wall sink's onto the wall, i have also tryed cutting a circle just smaller than the fixing and filled the hole with 3 penny washers and that wasen't much of a success.
if anyone has fitted a tall rad on 5mm pvc, i would appreciate your help.

You won’t do it as it’s hollow better off cutting a hole for a spacer eg 40mm dia dowl etc
 
Whatever the spacer is it should be smaller diameter than the wall fixings, then it won’t show.
In this case I think I would cut a circle of “6mm” ply, if this is not enough depth then back it up with 1mm packers until it is. Aim to get it level/just proud of the wall panelling, run a tidy bead of grey silicone around the wall plate if necessary.

Ok thank's for the tip, i will have to get some 6mm ply and give that a try, cheers!
