New "S" badge. Thoughts?

Decided to get blacked out emblems, remove the "JAGUAR" lettering on the spoiler and change the "S" badges to the black ones in the pic below. Already installed the front one and I think it looks much better. Can't wait to finish this little project 😉

Did you make change the colors yourself or buy as is, or a combination of the two? I am long overdue to finish a special emblem project I started. Need a picture of it on the car. This would look good on my white f type (with R lettering). Nice!

I Like it. Is that off the british design edition? Also does it curve to match the bumper?

Will look good on a light or bright color. Won’t be seen well on a dark color.

I haven't noticed any curvature....but I haven't looked either. I put it next to the OEM one and it sits exactly the same.... 🤔

Yep, no curvature of the S badge needed, I replaced my OEM one with a black one from Fleabay a few months ago, it was dead flat but it fitted/stuck perfectly, in the exact same spot where the OEM badge used to sit.
I removed it a couple of months ago as it just didn't look 100% right to me. Not the way it sat but the green colour (too dark) and "concave" shape were just not right.
