Default Jaguar Leaper Badges Available

I have secured ... 4 Jaguar Leaper Badges, OEM size, chrome, that are found on the 2012 and beyond model years. Many Jaguar pre-2012 XK/XKR owners are placing these on the rear trunk lid as seen on my 2009 XKR.

First come ...first gets...

Special price $32.00 each + $3.00 USPS to USA address only. $35 total....immediate shipping via USPS with tracking number.

The leaper badge secures to the car with the standard 3M adhesive sticker that comes with the badge.

The leaper badge enhances the Jaguar brand and looks awesome.

Send a PM if you have an interest.

First thing I did on my XKR 175 when I got it. It made the car complete.

Carl, yes, I will be down to 3 badges remaining after sending yours to you. I have returned a PM to you earlier today.

Your first in line. 3 left for any other interested parties. Great price.

These badges really enhance the brand. Too bad Jaguar didn't think of adding these badges on the pre-2012 models, like 2007 to 2011. I guess it wasn't until 2012 that their design team decided to add the Jaguar leaper on the XK/XKR/XKR-S series.

How to install Leaper badge on rear trunk lid.....

From forum member Kovapi in AZ...

Simple install:

The adhesive will adhere to the surface better in higher temperatures. Try to do the install at 60 degrees or higher.

Determine where you want to place the badge. You can use regular scotch tape to test stick the badge and take a step back to make sure you are happy with the location. You only get one chance to stick it so make sure it is where you want it. During your test placement make sure the badge lays flat on the surface.

Since the trunk is slight curved where I selected to place the badge, I needed to slightly bend the badge by laying it perpendicular on a pencil and gently pressing the far edges of the leaper. The leaper must lay flat on the surface so in all likelihood you will need to bend it - just don't over do it.

You can mark the area where the badge will go with painters or masking tape. (Using Richzak's photo as a model I attempted to place the badge in a similar location with the bend of the front leg above the inside of the "G" and the bend of the back leg above the outside of the "U".

Make sure the area you have selected to place the badge is clean. After washing the area, I used a small amount of alcohol to clean the area and let it dry thoroughly.

Remove the 3M side of the tape and carefully the position the badge to fit the masked off area you created above. Press firmly with the palm of your hand for 30-60 seconds to make sure the adhesive adheres well. Remove the marking tape and take a step back to admire your new look.

Richzak may have badges available if you are interested in adding a leaper badge to your XK.

You got it Chris....holding the last one for you.

All sold this evening.......There will be 4 nice Jaguars running around the USA looking pretty sharp from the rear end.

Boston
Atlanta
Phoenix
Seattle.

Just make sure that you install the leaper badge were you want it, because once it's on, it is hard to pull off. Follow the instructions and position from above posts.

Default One Leaper, Two Leaper

Here's an example of reverse engineering:

If one Leaper makes your car look F A S T -----------
Two Leapers makes your car look HALF FAST --------
And a V12 makes it even more so.

This owner needs help! I hope he or she is not one of us!

All I can say on this one is "Holy Smokes", "Over the top", especially the V12.

I agree, I hope it's not one of us.

I gotta put my hands together for his enthusiasm of the brand. Over the top and pretentious? It's probably not even an R. LOL Whatever it takes to makes him happy!


Or, maybe, it's some one who bought the car this way and thinks he has a rare V12 XKR that no one else has. LOL.

See Post #8, above. Richzak sold all of those Leaper badges. He also sold his 2009 XKR Portfolio Convertible to buy a new 2015 Corvette

Those badges occasionally show up on Ebay, but beware of Chinese copies.

You can try this copy. If it doesn't fit, it's returnable within 30 days.
