Default GAWD I'm frustrated

WOW this is not a problem with the car as much as the previous owner and me! My fiancee was so excited about this car that I bought it without really doing research and checking the car thoroughly. The Carfax showed the car clean but after the second day of ownership I detailed the car and saw that it was in an accident on the left front side. The fender was repaired by a 2 year old I think, the side marker and fog light on the left are not tight the front left headlight obviously has an opening because it is dirty inside and it fogs up when washed and, today my leaper fell off while washing the car. Why? It was put back on incorrectly without all the parts.

Does anyone know where to get the parts to reinstall it? Better yet anyone know a good chop shop in Northern California? LOL j/k

Almost anything you want is avaialble on EBay. I also get most of my maintenance parts at regular auto parts places like NAPA, Autozone , O'Reilly.
Yo can search for Jaguar salvage yards, I think there is one in the Sacramento area (Jag Heaven?).
Its too bad that these beautiful cars are so frequently abused by clueless owners.

I use this Used Auto Parts | Used Car Parts | Auto Salvage for salvage yard parts. Also I replaced my leaper back when the car was relatively new because someone decided to yank it out at the mall parking lot with an OEM one for 140 bucks. Well earlier this year I noticed that it was loose as well because the hardware was coming apart. Just used a stainless steel wire to tighten it - have it threaded thru a flat metal piece so it stays flat and tight.
