Put a leaper on my XK...

To some of us "old school" guys a Jag W/O the Leaper is not quite "there". I recall putting one on the hood of my XJS back in the day. I have never had the urge to put one on an XK, however.
If you really want to go old school, how about Jag "wings". It used to be that Jags up thru the Series 1 XJ6 had a wing logo around the trunk lock. Some of us could not imagine a Jag of subsequent years without the wings and took corrective measures. This really dates me. As an aside, I have never understood the strong objection the outside radio Ariel on the 07 XKs.
The recent Hyundai Genesis was introduced W/O the Hyundai "wing" logo. Owners raised so much hell about it that the dealers started to install wings themselves.
The mkt for auto personalization lives. Long may it prosper.

If I could choose, I would obviously wish it was gone, but I've been driving for 38+ years now, and have had so many cars with Ariels in my life that I simply don't notice it. (I will admit that I plan on putting a switch on it, as I do not listen to Radio often)
Didn't mean to offend any XK owners with hood ornaments, I just love the slick lines of the front end so much on my car that a the thought of breaking it up with something standing off of it makes me shudder. peace Vince
