Hood Ornament on XF Premium
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Unfortunately, my XF was involved in a minor accident which requires a new hood. There was an ornament on the old hood when I purchased it which I liked.
Typically, I sell my cars privately and, thinking further down the line, I'd like your opinion on whether I should replace the ornament on the new hood. Is it a positive, negative, or neutral re-sell point to have the Jaguar leaper on the hood of this vehicle (given that it was not there initially)?
Appreciate your comments.

Hood ornament was a negative when I was shopping. However if you like you could get it and enjoy it and when it comes time to sell put it in the ad that you will pay to fill it if they want. Personally I love the leaper but it doesn't work with modern Jag hoods.

Why would any seller bother with that when there are many of these cars for sale at any time??

It's not a minor body shop job to fill and paint the hood. You'd have to paint the whole hood to get it to look right, and then you have to hope the body shop does a good job so the paint matches.

Eh, ok I withdraw my offer.
