Yep, my Leaper is 16 cm.
But mine is an OEM chrome leaper from a MY 2015 F-Type and all the OEM black ones I see advertised are shown as 2021 to 2024, as the black version did not come out until 2021, so there is a slight chance that the OEM black one is a different size/length.
Also my OEM Leaper had a mounting prong on the back which slotted into a locating hole on the boot lid (I took the Leaper off so as to paint it black and relocate it) and I had to cut that prong off before I glued the Leaper back on, so I reckon there is a good chance that a new OEM black Leaper will also have a mounting prong on the back of it.
Of the dozen or so ads I looked at only one showed the back side and it seems to have two mounting prongs although it's very fuzzy, see here: https://www.ebay.com.au/p/15047482925
Last but not least yes a new one probably has double-sided adhesive tape on the back but even if it doesn't it's easy to stick on using black RTV windscreen sealant, that is what I used and it worked great.
thx! Maybe you are right an the f-type ones has this pins...
May I have to go with the F-Pace one (T4A41816)...but i have again check the size and if its really self adhesive :-)
Pictures of chrome leaper removed from my 2018 R-Dynamic. I replaced it with the black leaper T2R46540. It was exactly the same dimensions and pattern as the chrome leaper. The black leaper came with 2 locating pins and 3M adhesive already applied. Warm up the original leaper with hairdrier to release 3M and use plastic pry tool on cloth to remove. You can also 'saw' the original off using tooth floss.
