Well, it happened - some punk stole my hood leeper emblem. Looks like it is gonna cost like $200 some dollars to relace. Dammit!

Is the ones on our X-Types 6 inches? I am thinking I am just going to buy a stolen one off Ebay and glue it on - instead of getting the whole assembly.

Too bad dude, I feel for ya. And to think I had one spare. Was there a lot of damage? I hear they just break off without damaging the hood. (This is one of the reasons they are illegal in the UK)

No damage to the hood at all, looks like the assembly is two pieces on top of the hood

I think someone in the parking garage does not like my X-Type:(

Can someone measure the length of their leeping cat emblem on their X-Type, if you have a chance?

Leeper - nose to tail is 5 inches. Including chrome base is 7 inches. Sounds like the leeper on Ebay is from a full size model.

Sorry bout that bro, yeah, you need the small cat ( 5 inch). Big kat goes on the big X.....

I think this is the one you want
