I'm not sure but i think it might be illegal to affix a non-deformable one of those to a car which didnt already have one. Reason being the injuries the things cause to peds who get in the way

you can mount it aslong as its more then 154 mm back from the front of the bonnet if waht i read earlier is true

Looks like it'll be on a wood base then, should look really good on a piece of mahogany IMO

We have a quite a few leaping cats from various years, displayed on mahogany plinths, They do look the biz. (IMO)...
