Hi,

How do I remove the round badge on the bonnet of an S Type, I want to replace it with a leaping Jaguar.
Any goods or bads about doing this.

Hi,
not sure about the fitting on the 'S', most modern car badges seem to be self adhesive and can be eased off with gentle pressure, and then clean with a solvent.

I have both the original growler and a leaper on the XJS which looks great, I will have to have a look at an 'S' to see if you could do the same.


The only issue with the leaper is the potential personal injury claim should some ***kwit leap onto your bonnet, and then the question of how your insurers will view this if it is an un declared modification. I didn't declare it, but my insurers received photo's of the car before the policy was issued, and the leaper is clearly visible.
