okay, I'll vote NO to the leaper at all. Perhaps a black bonnet badge instead if you are going all black.

Or, the S-Type bonnet badge that fits the mounting holes on an X-type perfectly.

Jonesy, I went leaper-less earlier this year. I actually bought the black XK bonnet badge listed above from Adamesh. One thing with that bonnet badge is that it doesn't sit flush to the bonnet. You have to tweak it; I chose to sand down the backing to make it sit flush. Not real difficult to do, but just an FYI. Here are some pictures to give you an idea...

Thanks for posts.
I've decided that if I'm going black and no chrome at all then I'm going to drop any badge or leaper.
I may keep the jaguar chrome strip on the boot (trunk) lid. But other than that that's it.
3.0 Jaguar badge is smart, but I've a 2.2 and it feels like a bit of a cheat. I'd rather keep my mouth shut than tell fibs ;-)
Going for this look. Probably not to everyone's taste but there you go.
