After a spirited run today (thank god lockdown is slowly lifting!)...decided to give the car a proper wash and polish. Standing there admiring it, couldn’t decide if the S badge just looks wrong! What’s people’s thoughts, keep or remove?

Personally I think the badge is a bit naff and let’s face it, the V8 quad exhausts tell you it’s a sports!!

Not a fan of badges, I’m in favour of removing them as I have on my P380.

Makes it easier to keep clean, those that know will know and those that don’t can ask!

Oem badges are fine and just say what it is. You could argue to remove Jaguar logos as everyone knows what it is.
Clean look is also good, but on balance I’d keep it

Only ‘no’ to me is adding a higher badge, not that you suggest it, but too common on cars.

Wait a few years my friend, 400 already been declared the most sort after future classic of the range in some auto press circles. The SVR badge is continues to be used on lots of JLR products , but if someone wants to give me their F type SVR would not say no, would just park it next to the 400. :D
