I have a 1988 Jaguar XJS - should I fit a leaper cat badge to the bonnet as well as the existing growler badge? Or should I fit the leaper cat badge to where the growler badge was fitted? Are there any issues with either option or should I not do it due to possible corrosion if drilling new holes in the bonnet?

Any help would be appreciated?

Entirely as an "each to their own" comment, i would prefer to see something like that as the factory intended. I recently bought another car and a previous owner has added "V6", "automatic" and Union flag badges.

Granted it is a V6 auto but it's definitely a Japanese car (JDM Import) so shouldn't have the Union flag on it IMHO.

Conversely the car it's replacing is a Japanese brand but was built in Swindon so technically could have the Union flag at a push.

What i'm really saying here is that while having a Leaper on an XJS might suit your tastes, it might not suit everyones and could negatively impact the value.
