Driving into Boston today (in my Audi) I passed a Jag I-Pace with a leaping cat hood ornament.
I used to have a much more substantial leaper on the hood of my 1983 XJ6 that I was quite proud of at the time.
I just thought this one looked a bit undersized and out of place.

 

Somebody here has posted pictures of one on their F-Type.

 

I think we ended up with this lovely Jaguar leaper butt plug with one of our purchases, I think I would rather use that than have one on the bonnet of my car

 

I think it looks very nice. I ,ight like one.
Just a g bit concerned whether it hurts going in??

 

You guys are scaring me...

 

Make sure you're using the smaller end.............

 

I think it looks terrible. The leaper looked great on the cars it was designed for, but doesn't suit modern cars in my opinion. Possibly illegal in the UK because of safety issues to pedestrians - ok legally where originally fitted but otherwise I think no. Do see them over here nonetheless, and still look bad!

 

Yikes! Looks like a terd in a punch bowl IMHO

Nasty!!

 

Each to their own but IMHO that's just tacky. Leapers were ok on Jags half a century ago or more. What's next, wire spoke wheels, white sidewalls and maybe a fake vinyl roof with S shaped silver ornaments on the C pillars?

 

Hey, two-tone paint seems to be coming back, too.

"What goes around, comes around"

 

Well, that certainly applies to wheels!

Regarding hood ornaments - just say no.
