Just got a beautiful XK8 4.2 and i had seen one with jaguar leaping emblems above the side indicator lights, should i?...ive also a small silver union jack i was going to put somewhere, any advice?

 

We have two types of members:

1. those who like to remove all the badges
2. those who like to add more badges

No - that's not entirely correct. We have a third category:

3. those who leave them alone.

Your car - your choice ........

......... but you wouldn't want to follow my advice on where to put the small silver Union Jack.

Put the Union Jack on your tool box. You will get to see it often and it won't mess up your car.

But as Graham said, "Your car - your choice".

 

Well, the good thing is that you could use some two sided tape to mount them temporarily to see what you think they look like on your car. I have a license plate holder with one of those leapers built into it and I think it looks pretty good there. Personally, I fall into category 3.

 

Thanks everyone, I think i will be cat 3 as well then, i don't want to spoil what is already a stunning car, the seats may well be more uncomfortable now though, now i have inserted the union jack badge where i think GGG was talking about

 

What would be cool is if the non-illuminated leapers that are on the early U.S. models could be modified to light behind the leaper. I suppose the answer would be to create a en electroluminescent signal light (similar to 70's style U.S. coach lamps) and then put a small leaper on it.

Here is an example for those who don't know what I mean (this is from a Regal):

 

I kinda like the silver flag - how big is that and where did you get it? Steve
