Default Leaper or logo on dash

I have seen an xf trunk style leaper installed above the glove box but can't seem to find it again. It just seems like there is a huge space above the glove box that needs a logo or leaper. I know some like no badges but I like badges that make sense and add to the Jaguar experience. After all it's not like we have a Yugo and want to put BMW or Mercedes logos on it to fool someone...lol.

I made an inlay out of santos rosewood for the drive knob and put the little leaper on the dash

I had some Santos rosewood from a guitar back that matched pretty close to the stock dash. I just thought the gear selector looked naked.

Little dash leaper. Just so much blank space. I really would like a small scale Jaguar font on the dash

Niiiice!

Looking at your gear selector, I'm now thinking i should have had them cut me a small square of the leather when they replaced my dash and had it cut to fit as a topper for the selector as I agree it does look naked. Dang it...missed opportunity.

Very neat work.

I've rotated your pics to get a better view.

Looks nice.


I also put one on my F-Type front hood lower panel similar to the jumping leaper of older years but its now a flat look. This gives it a distinctive look from the front. People can now notice that its a Jaguar!

Love the look of both! The leaper does't interfere with the airbag deployment does it? Just curious...
