I would like to have the old leaper on the bonnet of my S type. Does anyone know if there are any versions out there that can be securely fitted without having to drill holes in my bonnet?

Hi Phillip,

 

Drilling holes in the bonnet does put me off a Leaper for the reason of drilling holes and secondly the possibility of injuring someone.

 

I have heard that there is a stick on one somewhere out there.

 

I was In the David Manners warehouse last week and only saw the screw on one.

 

I did an alternative by putting a small leaper on the boot

just remember to make sure you fit a spring loaded leaper as the old type are not legal any more or there is 

there is a version of a leaper with wings on the base which is a more modern version  it doesn't look to bad and it stick's on with 3m tape .

Hi Ron do u know who the retailer is

Many thanks on order

I was going to put a picture on but for some reason it would not let me do it.

 

I have never had any problems before with my MacBook.

I figured the only other option would be a stick on version (which i guess if it is ever removed would leave damage to paintwork) so i'll probably live without one. Thanks for the replies guys.

if you heat these up with a hair dryer they come off quite easy then all is needed is a wax & a polish just like having decals /stickers removed
