Genuine Rear Gloss Black Leaper and Jaguar Lettering available?
#62
Not on the badges...But when deciding on wrapping color...Tried on vents and did not care for it....But again, all preference. For some reason...Black seems Black....But white colors have a ton of variance....More than you would think.

Great point. Even a slightly off-white would probably clash. I suppose if it was perfect it might look pretty good.

Thought I should update this thread since I started it and my parts arrived today from Britcars
F-Type badge was £20.01 plus VAT (T2R46258)
Leaper badge was £40.35 plus VAT (T2R46540)
Also, just to point out the genuine badges do have the pins on the Leaper.
Just need to decide if I'm going to fit the Leaper with or without the Jaguar lettering.. hmmm

- Where’d you buy the leaper with pins? I’m guessing Jag dealer (vs eBay or other).

@scz4 did you have to find a 2021 VIN for BritCar? They are asking for a VIN lol

Make sure you fix Jaguar's mistake. HQ has not officially released guidance on correcting it, so some of us did it ourselves.
IE... everyone that knows what an F-Type is, knows it's an F-Type. You don't need that on the rear of the car.
Everyone who doesn't know what an F-Type is, doesn't know, and the name doesn't mean as much as knowing it's a Jaguar.
So the problem was solved. =) I am sorta joking around, but I still can't believe Jaguar doesn't have their name clearly on the rear of the car.
I love this look so much.

I ended up ordering from britcar too, and I used the VIN @Therock88 helpfully posted upthread. It's being shipped to me now. You can try that one, but I'm not sure if anyone's keeping track to see why that one car owner is ordering dozens and dozens of emblems...

With the original letters removed, I used two chopsticks stuck through the holes in the cardboard to roughly "aim" the new emblem into the right position, and slid the emblem down and onto the car. A little bit of claybar at the ends of the chopsticks helped them stay on target. Make sense?
But you could probably just mask the shape with tape and eyeball it to get pretty close. Depends on how OCD you are...

I always make a border around the original logo with tape to give an outline of the top/bottom and any distinct areas where you can put tape to ensure the new letters go in the same location.

Good luck.
