Default Give your opinion on my idea

I found a place selling genuine jaguar xf leaper badges(like in the pic below), was thinking of putting it on the trunk of my S-Type either removing the 3.0 sign or the s-type sign and putting the xf jaguar leaper cat badge there. it looks amazing! anyone know if its easy to remove the 'stype' badge or 3.0 badge? what do you guys think?

It's totally irrelevant whether anyone else likes it or not as your opinion is the only one that counts.

You can remove stuck on badges by sawing away at the adhesive with some fishing line or strong thread. Heat things up first with a hair dryer in order to soften the adhesive.

I agree, its up to you if you want to dress it up with different badges. It looks rather large. Not sure how it would look on the back of an s-type.

Ok so I just started a thread on the same freaking thing. without noticing this thread. Yes, I think it will look good, I just dont really like the SType on there. Adamesh has them, both large and small. I am assuming the large are made for the trunk and the smalls for the fenders. Ill post pics once I do it, probably going to go with the XF leaper or something old school like below. They only stick on, so if it looks shi*ty, can always take it off and throw it on Ebay.

Default I Like It

I think it would be cool to have that logo. I would consider removing the V-8 symbol on my trunk and placing it there. I would have preferred the 4.2 logo that came on later models.

@bull

Definitely go for the XF badge, it looks 100x better than that black one. If you put it on right, shine it up, you will start to notice when your on the road that people stay like 2 cars behind you, cus nooo one wants to mess with a Jaguar. Now the logo can be seen from the front and back.

I'm installing mine very soon.

If it creates road space it's got to be worth fitting.
