Leaper or no leaper?
#81
Getting rid of that 'Leaper' felt like a breath of Fresh Air!
I've never been so pleased to see it go, as the Dealership, which I presume must have fitted it to Special Order for the P.O.
Damaged the Bonnet/Hood 'Big Time' by doing the bolts up too tight!
The Screw Caps don't look that Brilliant but from about 5ft away look like a couple of Rivets.
The only problem being, they are standing up too high, so now I am thinking of gluing the caps (on their own) directly onto the Bonnet/Hood, as a Stop Gap measure.
As that part of the Bonnet Hood, will eventually have to be re-sprayed, after those unsightly holes have been Welded up.
So that's a good example of how a Garage/Shop can mess up your Car, if as in this case they didn't appear to take enough care with the fitment.

So that being the Case the 'Leaper' makes for an ideal Aiming Mark, in order to judge the halfway point on the Bonnet/Hood, especially with a Grey Car which is almost the same Color as the road.
But as that's not the case with me, I don't want the blinking thing on there!
So Thankfully its off the Car for good!

However I love the 'Growler Badge' so that is going to stay!

Thanks from the grammar lesson, it's exactly why I come on here, to have someone correct my spelling errors and point out my personal preferences in my profile are in error. How did I ever make it this far in life?

I’m all for everyone doing whatever you want. Put a unicorn on there if you want.
I feel that the XJ-S was Jaguar’s move away from the historical styling cues of the XJ6s. While based on the same platform, it leaves all the previous styling behind it and goes in a sharper, squarer direction.
For this his reason alone I don’t think the leaper is right for my XJ-S.
