manuals - cup holder
We have recently purchased a 2003 XK8 convertible
My wife would like to add the leaping jaguar hood ornament to the car.
Has anyone done this to this model (it currently has a flat emblem in front of the hood).

There are few leaper converted X100's for sale on Craigslist down here in Texas. don't understand it. Did E-types have a Leaper on the Hood?
Is the leather still good on your console/cup holder door? A new cupholder swaps your old leather onto it.
The leather is slightly different, but XJ8's have the same basic Glovebox lid/cupholder. XJ8's are much more plentiful in the junkyard with good consoles and cup holder guts. I bought a good one to fix my cupholder a few weeks ago for $10.
New cup holders are available for $100 off ebay.

John,
I've removed the 'wanted to buy' items from your post. This is not allowed in the model forums. The reason for this is 'wanted' or 'for sale' posts rapidly become irrelevant as items are bought or sold but then remain in the model forums forever and we don't want the technical forums cluttered with them.
Please read the guidance in PRIVATE For Sale / Trade or Buy Classifieds before postingagain about 'wanted' items.

They look good on the XJ because the hood/bonnet is flatter and thus the cat is at the correct angle.
Search the forum. You'll find a few who have done it. At the end of the day, it is her car and whatever makes mama happy is good.

Sedans had leapers but Grand Touring cars did not.
I can't think of any sporty cars with protruding ornaments.
I was once forced to install a leaper on an XJS when I worked at the Jaguar dealer.
We tried to talk the woman out of it but 'no-use'. She WANTED THE LEAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
