I know there was a previous post regarding bonnet (hood) badges but what I want to know wasn't mentioned in that post, how are badges such as d.k.p & the green hearts to name two held on? Do they have pins like the standard Vw badge or are they simply held on with some kind of adhesive tape & if that's the case how easy are they to remove if needed? In all the pictures of bonnet badges that I have seen I can't ever recall seeing the back of one  Matt. |

Our DVKK badges have a threaded post. On some cars we removed the post and used 3m adhesive tape.
Hope this helps.

The original DKP badges had two threaded post that required drilling holes in the hood for installiation.

Thanks for the info Geoff & John, out of interest how were the threaded posts attached to the badge? We're they brazed on? I can't imagine they were thick enough to drill & tap the back so it must have been some other method?

Here are current photos (today) of one of my two original DKP Badges. Hope this will be of some assistance.

I think Art Alvarez (DKP I) had some made for DKP II & possibly III. I know that he has a display board with a few generations of them.
If memory serves me the first generation badges were $5 or $7 each and I think we had 50 made. Don't remember if there was ever a second run of them done. Times have certainly changed and those prices would not work in today's world.
