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.

But it is your car, do what you will.

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.
