Aside from a dealer, you could try a junkyard/breaker.

If in the USA, Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market is a good place to start. (Assume you mean just the side grilles and bottom 'lip' in front?)



Difficult to believe they totaled that one! "That'll buff right out" is what it looks like to me.

To fix properly that's gonna need a whole new front bumper and splitter/diffuser.
A new splitter/diffuser is relatively cheap, I got one around three years ago to replace my damaged one, but a new front bumper will cost squillions and then it needs to be painted so more money. You could get very very lucky and find a used one in good condition in the correct colour from a junkyard/breaker/wrecker, but it could take years.
Correction - a new front bumper is not as expensive as I thought it was, $1158.30 US here: https://parts.jaguarreno.com/v-2017-...mponents-front
And it's gonna need a new grille surround ("lipstick") as the existing one is cracked right through, and possibly a new grille and/or central grille bar as well. Starting to add up!

Even if a new front fascia (bumper cover/grille/side pieces) require replacement, I still can't understand why the vehicle was 'totaled'.

Unless it was driven over a bridge and became submerged, or something like that (hurricane/flood damage)?

Insurance companies don't total cars for some scratches on the bumper. It will take more than few trim parts to have this car back on the road. Take possession, dissemble front, take a closer look at the frame and engine bay before you start buying parts.
