You may be have to check with the stealership and see what it costs + paint. Unless you can find a sport parts car somewhere in the US, which is highly unlikely as I haven''t found one yet...
Sorry to hear that tho''. I know it sucks. Sucks as much as someone stealing my leaper and me trying to debate whether to buy another one.

I think the sports package has the same side skirt as every other car. better order a set of the clips there are 9 each of 2 different types of clips.
no big deal to take it off, but you need to get your nose under the side of the car and use a panel-popper tool to get the snap in clips out. (i guess this does not matter since yours is busted)
you going to tell us what happened?

I was parked in a grocery store parking lot dropping off my wife for her to run in real quick. Parked next to a curb/decorative garden with a friggon ROCK in it on the passenger side of the car. As I was waiting, a car pulled out of the parking stall right on the other side of the ROCK. I didn''t see the ROCK, turned too sharp to get to the stall, heard a crunch. You get the picture. I''m just WAY pissed at myself right now. Its not real bad. Soon as I heard it I stopped and backed up. Its gouged pretty deep and there is a permanent dent in the plastic. No way to just sand it smooth without glooping some bondo on it. My wife is soooooooooo pissed at me (she has every reason to be) it was stupid. I think I broke a few clips too. When I open the back door the back of the skirt is loose, the door being shut holds it up ok.
Would a body shop be able to get one do you think ? Or am I looking at a dealer only part. I only ask because I''m paying for this out of pocket most likely ($500 deductable).
Thanks for your help guys.

I as just noticing on Jaguar XP the have a "sport body kit". You can buy the side skirts only (pair) for $385. Are these the same as the factory ones ? do they fit/attach the same way as the stock ones do? Anyone had experience with these ?
Thanks again. Sorry if I seem a little testy in my above post. I''''m not trying to be a jerk to you guys, I''''m just really upset with myself...
Sorry to hear about your leaper spartan. One of my biggest fears, next to ornamental rocks...
