Default Replacement for hood leaper?

If I ever decided to delete the leaper on my 96xj6 is there a hood badge that would fill the hole? I know the euro. model did not come with a leaper but it also did not have a hole in the hood. I would be concerned about the curvature of any badge, so it would look right.

This is what I did on my XJR. I was concerned about someone tearing the leaper off.

I got quite negative reactions in this Forum.

Same for a trunk raised spoiler although more positive than negative reactions.

I make modifications to suit my taste!

Curvature is of concern but for me was not a major issue.
