Default What's behind the V12 Grill Badge and Can it be removed?

Hi

Would it be possible to remove the V12 Badge from the Front of the Grill and if so what is behind it.

Would there be a blanking plate, or would I be left with a hole?

If you remove the V12 "shield" (it is officially called!) you are left with a silver shield-shaped indentation with a couple of small holes in it where the location lugs of the shield went through. But why would you want to remove it? Although it is rather small, you really do notice when it is not there.

What did they do for the shield on the 3.6 liter cars?

From memory, it was just saying Jaguar, or XJS; but something equivalent was there.

Being as I am from down here, I read the "Title" and my thoughts were:

THE REST OF THE CAR.

Makes perfect sense if you dont read any further.

I'm really laughing my 'A' off at that, my thoughts exactly!
