I had heard that Rexypow's brother went back in to business selling these, have you not checked ebay or amazon? If yours is not missing pieces fix it now before it gets worse. Get a plastic hot staple kit and use staples on the cracks from the rear. Use Loctite PLX3 construction adhesive reinforced with alluminum window screen around the crack area after stapling it. Be sure to sand, wash, dry, and flame treat the plastic before applying the pl3x in thin coats. Fill the cracks in the front with same pl3x and then paint with an aerosol bedliner for UV protection.

Glad that I got one from jaguarlandroverclassic last year. Now they are out of stock everywhere. Looks like inventory got exhausted, so no more genuine parts. Same for tail lights and front bumpers. I hope some aftermarket manufacturers will start making those parts which are no longer available OEM.

I'll let You guys in on a "secret" I've been holding for some weeks now...

I asked the classic parts for the plenum cover some weeks ago, and they told me they will be getting 100pcs avail soon.
Should have been avail to order last week or so..

So it's not all hopeless.
Will be ordering two as soon as they are avail (or from black friday discounts).

I've been holding this info on my own because I want to make sure I get mine

I found this on Ebay today, but its expensive, maybe the best route to go would be a 3d printer

on one of the P38 forums I'm on, the UK guys said that LR Classic Parts will make NLA parts if they are notified the needed part is not available anymore.

probably worth a try. especially for the '03, '04 tail lights housing.
