Sometimes, it’s better to leave tradition behind and look into the future, which is precisely what Jaguar and its team of designers did with the brand’s XF, XJ and F-Type models. However, if you insist on dwelling in the past, Arden has resurrected the leaping Jaguar hood ornament for the F-Type Coupe and Roadster sports cars.

Available in chrome and if you’re more adventurous, in body color or gold-plated, the ornament starts from €329 (US$ 444.54 or £287.84 – including 19% tax/VAT).

The German tuning firm also offers several other goodies for the F-Type series, including alloy wheels with or without spacers, a sports suspension kit, LED ambient lighting for the interior, and new software available for all engines that boosts output by 39hp (40PS) and peak torque by 50Nm, priced at €5,831 (US$7,878.85 or £5,101.54).
