So i decided to go nascar on some back roads like an idiot and sideswiped a pole damaging the front right fender and both doors. I want it fixed ASAP because just looking at it makes me sick. Im worried if i claim it on insurance its going raise my insurance to an ungodly price. Does anyone know where i can get replacement parts cheaper than having to go to a dealership or should i just claim it?

 

Get on line and go to places like Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

Those sites are bone yards that will ship to your door.

I did a fast search and they have plenty of doors listed. They run about $1000 each.

I am sure you can even find the color you need.

 

You could try your luck with some salvage yards, see if their nationwide computer listings find those parts. You can also try this place below, even though I previously did not have good luck at finding late model parts there:

Land Rover Parts | Jaguar Parts | Coventry West, Inc.

Otherwise, hopefully your insurance will "forgive" a single accident and not raise your rates. That is how mine treated me with a previous accident.

Good luck and stop playing Nascar on you back roads; GT5 would be better and it only involves your TV and a PS-3 simulator and will not damage your expensive car :-)

My choice would be to go 'used' parts from a breaker as suggested by 10 XF Premium and axr6.

Alternatively, if it's only panel damage and the door shells aren't compromised, skins are available from Jaguar (see items 7 and 9):

When sourcing a new or used fender, note there's a VIN related part Number change:

to VIN R40098 : C2Z4033
from VIN R40099 to VIN R40574 : C2Z10446
from VIN R40575 : C2Z14005
