The best way to save that would be to do a rude and crude patch job. Than use those parts as patterns to make fresh molds.
It’s not hard. Nor should it be messy or terribly expensive. With experiance you should be able to repair a piece and make a mold every day until the whole set is duplicated. Use cheap chopped Matt to make the mold. However for the actual parts use cloth or get fancy and use Kevlar/carbon fiber. ( that will more than double the costs but dramatically add to the strength and durability ).
There are plenty of U tube video’s showing how. Or you could find a local to either show you how or simply do it for you.
Notice I said local. Shipping parts even light fiberglass parts around is expensive, not because of weight but because of the boxing requirement.
Being Fiberglass it can definitely be repaired as it was simply a resin and glass matt, or strands. the "Mold" would be nice as that makes it easier, to get things back to what they were, but it is not absolutely necessary. Use cardboard to fill in, and create the contour for the missing pieces, to the general shape, and then glass over it. If it's not in a critical or visible area you can leave the cardboard in place. Looks to be a fairly nice design. Hope it helps.
Yes you can repair it that way but it will always be a weaker area.
For cosmetic reasons only you can probably get by, but to retain a percentage of strength, you will need to spread the repair out because the joint will not be very strong.
Access to the back side will allow the added mass required to regain a percentage of strength to be hidden.
If you’ve ever experienced a major body failure at the speed Jaguars are capable of you’ll understand my concern.
Looks like the condition I got an xjs lister body kit in many years ago off a wrecked car, took a fair bit of bit to patch up. Pics from 2005 and of recent, generally most days still like the look of the kit.

If you have any pictures of how its mounted please post them. Most of the holes are busted. It will be a next spring project
I stand corrected! Now that I see that the bumper was upside down in the first pic, it could be from a Lister kit. The Hyper rear bumper is also similar, but I recall had cutouts for rear fogs next to the exhaust pipes.

i think those 2 round holes are for where the rear bumper supports pass through looking at other pictures i found online..

Do you have a pic of the finished rear? Straight on
That Lite Stix looks pretty Cool. I think I've seen it by other manufactures as well, I didn't know Bend Pak even made them. Looks like a damn nice light.
