You meant Growlers, not Prowlers. This is a Prowler:

This Jaguar logo is called the Growler. There are others.

If your grille emblem is black, you may want to replace it with the newer style fluted red emblem shown above. Or you can simply use Testor's red enamel model paint, which is what I did on my 2013 XJ. See my Post #5 in this 2014 thread:

I subsequently replaced that painted emblem with new style fluted emblem.

My 2009 XKR Portfolio convertible came from the factory with Jaguar "Heritage" logo center caps, which were exclusive to the Portfolio models.

See this old thread for all the fake Jaguar center cap designs with logos that the factory never made.

[You meant Growlers, not Prowlers]

Thank you Stuart. I certainly meant GROWLER as I had stated in my very first post. Just another Typo. Never was a fan of that Prowler.
