Before you do are you any good with a drill and getting things dead centre..
It's kinda awkward for me with only one fully functional eye...
So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

Says the sticker fiendPlease do not fit that to the Jaaaaaaag.
Keep it as an ornament in the house.
If you disregard this polite request, I'll tell Mrs Duck how much it cost.
A shiny chrome duck will be no use to you when you're sat on a liilypad catching flies with your tongue
Not happening mate. I wouldn't fancy that job on my own car, but on someone else's..........Before you do are you any good with a drill and getting things dead centre..

Remove the threaded bolts (assuming they can be removed?)
Put some grease in the holes & place the duck on your bonnet.
Once you're happy with the alignment. Drill the holes where the grease marks appear on the bonnet.
Use a centre punch so the drill doesn't wander off centre.
Or do as HT suggested. It's a far more sensible idea.

They can't be removed..They've been welded in and I aint using the angle grinder on that Duck..
Also I want a little Ducky raincover so it doesn't get wet in the winter
How wide is the base?I want a big rubber washer to sit it on as I don't want to damage the bonnet
I have a roll of self adhesive rubber. Without going out to the garage to measure it. I "think" it's approx 75mm wide x 2mm thick?

That's what filler is for...F#ckin up the bonnet of a nice car by drilling two dirty great holes in it!

A replacement bonnet is around £100
The other thing to consider is an MOT fail.
A tester "could" consider it a dangerous projection & therefore a danger to pedestrians.
Even the proper Jaaaaaaag bonnet ornaments are technically illegal on modern cars.
Obviously, you could remove it before an MOT though.

I've actually looked into the legalities of a hood ornament and it is only illegal if it causes loss of forward visibility...
The only time anyone can say anything about the hazard to pedestrians is post exo facto...It as to be proven that the hood ornament was a contributing factor to injury caused to a pedestrian if involved in an accident...
