Default Leaper Install - OMG!

Look at what happened the day I installed the leaper on the F Type! What could this be from?

Are you referring to the halo around the sun?

What do you think of the leaper?


Should I tear it off or should it stay on?


Click on the picture to see it better.

Personally, I don't care for it. But what matters is what you think!

Not a big fan of it, but at DJS said, if you like it - then rock it.

Your car - your choice. But why didn't you centre it?

Sorry but it does not do anything for your vehicle. Taking it off would be my thought, but its your car.

I would turn the leaper into a keychain or a desktop ornament.

Not good
Put it on the sides under the side vent. It would look cool there.

It is so odd since the leaper by itself is such a cool emblem.

Ya. It's sweet looking. But it doesn't look sweet everywhere.
That's why I decided not to tattoo it to my forehead

That's a great idea!


Although, I'm trying to save every penny for the new F Type Toupe'. I'll have two F types soon! Yee Ha




Yes, it will be a Tuope'; its a head banger!

It's just doesn't belong on there. If you like the leaper, I think the traditional leaping cat would look a lot better.

Also, you already have the crest on the grill and the S badge. Too much going on with the leaper on there.

Hope that helps.
