There was a manufacturing defect affecting some 2001 and late 2000 MY cars causing the lacquer to go 'milky'.
You could likely have it refinished, but I imagine that it will be more cost-effective to source a new set of panels from the 'Bay or similar.

Welcome to the forum cloggy,
Do you mean the vinyl FACIA (arrowed in red) or the laminated FACIA VENEER (arrowed in blue)?

Yes, the well-known '01 m.y. milky wood defect, which affected all models. Was covered under warranty by Jaguar but I doubt they went to much trouble informing owners of this since it wasn't a safety issue.
