My baby got hurt!

My baby got hurt!
I was doing some yard work for an elderly friend on Saturday and a young lady decided to not pay attention when backing out of her driveway and smacked by vehicle on the left rear quarter panel, demolishing the left side bumper.
No one hurt, but my vanity is suffering
I haven't had time to examine the how the right side is attached, but it appears that there is a plastic molding piece, which is riveted to the panel and the brackets were of course broken. Looked on ebay for this part but no luck.
Does anyone know from experience of how these are attached to the panel?

OMG Rob......
Sorry to hear about the damage to your baby.....
I bet it took all you had to remain calm......
Sorry can't offer any insight into how it attaches..... can only offer condolences for the damage.
I hope you can get her repaired and looking her old self again real soon.
I assume the young lady will be paying for the repairs.... or at least her insurance company.

Robert,
Uninsured motorist run rampant in the South, probably everywhere for that matter.
When considering the deductible on my policy, not sure if it's worth filing, hate to give the insurance company a lame *** excuse to jack up my rates.
Need to find the parts, pull the dent (it's not horrible, no creasing) and then consider how much surface area to have painted.

Oh stink, Rob! Sorry to hear about this, and sorrier I cannot be of any useful info (typical for me) regarding the replacement bumper. I was going to make a smart comment about the look on her face after busting up a Jag, but I'm too annoyed by the fact that she wasn't carrying any insurance. That just sucks. Pardon the French.

That really stinks, Rob! What a hassle! As has been quoted too often, "No good deed goes unpunished."
I don't know if you've checked the Pull-a-part website but if you find the bumper blade and parts you need a one of their locations that is closer to me than you, I'd be happy to pick them up and ship them to you.
I just checked the parts diagram at jaguarclassicparts.com and as usual it doesn't clearly show how the parts go together, but it does indicate that there are two versions of the bumper - with and without "energy absorbing struts," and those side blades have an option of "welded beam" or "other." Presumably, all U.S. spec bumpers have the same bumpers, but you may need to confirm there are no variations among the different MYs.
Sorry you have to go through this, and sorry for your Baby.

Yes, the diagram absolutely lacks detail and Haynes is useless, doesn't even cover the rear bumper.
Thanks to all for your kind words and support.

Their is a jag bone yard outside Stockton CA.
Let me see if I can find the number or website. Might have luck finding parts from them.
