Good link, Prof.It sticks two fingers up at these w
kers that think it's OK to dictate to other car owners.
They also seem to like to add chrome around the lights on the XF. I despair...But please think of us poor souls who have purchased cars with them already affixed !!!
I have recently purchased a S-Type R after a long search in a perfect colour, spec combo for me, and as good ones are now getting thin on the ground did not want the offending article to be a deal breaker, im now left with either replacing the bonnet or driving round with it or a hole in the bonnet. I would never fit one and agree with the comments above but !!!!!!!!!!

Whilst I wouldn't put one on a modern car myself (especially as it would look really daft on my Porsche 
) - I can't get worked up about the issue - if people want to put mascots on their car, so what - there are much worse and even more pointless things added aftermarket to cars are there not?
) - I can't get worked up about the issue - if people want to put mascots on their car, so what - there are much worse and even more pointless things added aftermarket to cars are there not?I occasionally think about fitting a leaper to the bonnet of my S-Type, in the traditional position on the nose. The only reason that I have not so far, is that mine is a colour coded Sport model and I like the streamlined look of the car without it.
That is a pity, because, like the Spirit of Ecstasy or the winged B, the leaper is a nice thing to drive behind. Don't knock it until you have tried it. Without this, the S-Type bonnet is rather featureless, as was the old Mk.II and S-Type on which it is loosely based. That is the appeal of a leaper. The XJ has never needed it, nor does the XF or XK as they all have sculptured bonnets which are designed to look good from the driving seat.
With regard to safety, it is important - I have no wish to injure a pedestrian - but most bonnet mascots are available in break-off or fold back mounts. I don't know anyone who has had a problem with the police over one.

Why oh why oh why is it that retired wannabe bank managers and aspirational small business folk insist on evosticking a 6 inch modified phallus to the bonnet of their x or s type?
Imagine the uproar if the corsa boys began to attach lethal extras to their cars
And relax. ....
If your "equipment" looks like a Jaguar mascot you've got other things to worry about Imagine the uproar if the corsa boys began to attach lethal extras to their cars
And relax. ....
