I don't know, but as soon as you find one let me know. That is the PERFECT emblem to go on the jag.... I needs it.

I want one too! My leaper was stolen and I've been afraid to replace it. That's the perfect solution.

I suspect the particular hood/bonnet badge, as viewed on my attachment, belongs on a later model XKR but I still can't chase it down. I do appreciate the two links which didn't locate the one I'm looking for.

Has anyone ever seen this badge before and where did ya see it?

Thanks again...

The badge I'm looking for is found on a 2006 XKR Victory Edition. Now I have to find a supplier and when I do I will let you know who, where and how much...

Anyone want a perfect leaper when I'm done?

PM fourm members ken@britishparts.com and/or jag_genius, and see if they can source for you? Or try gramsey@engelimports.com. He's been fantastic. Found me the 3.0 Sport badge I replaced my X leaper with.

The badge is from a 2006 XKR Victory Edition. The part number is C2N3703 and cost me with a slight discount from the Canadian Jag dealer $120CDN - with shipping and taxes total $142.24CDN. Now I won't have to look at that cat's butt while I'm driving and no more theft damage after two stolen leapers.

Money well spent...

Hey Searanch,

Can you post a picture with the new emblem installed? How do you like it?

I'd love to see how it looks. Did it install the same way as the leaper?

Thanks ;-)

Easy to install and I would suspect screw up if one is not careful. Unbold the plastic nut underneath the hood. Warm the Leaper and base with a hair dryer. Use dental floss to cut the double adhesive underneath. Give it a couple of light rocks side to side. Off it comes. Use some fine cut polish over the area after using some goof off to remove the leftover adhesive. Cut the little tab off the bottom of the new badge with a dremel as it is in the wrong place for the two holes you are left with on the hood.

Pull off the tape on the bottom of the badge and lower the larger tab into the big hole. Hold down for a minute. Polish up the area you cut polished. Done...

Nice choice searanch.....much beter than the leaper IMO.
I love and adore the leaper on the older classic Jags, where they really look the part, but not on todays Jags for me.
I saw an X over here with that emblem and it looks great, understated, simple, just really worked

Get some pics posted up man for gods sake....lol

By popular request here is a full front shot requiring me to pull back the cover and turn on the lights. Then go get the camera, shoot, download, crop and then publish. I am available to come wash your windows, take out the trash and stick a broom up my *** and sweep the floor at the same time.

Jaysus - tough crowd...

Can you take a picture from the side as well?

Maybe thenput the Leaper back on and snap a couple shots from the front and sideso we can see which way we like it better???
