Hi Guys I have Had A Question that I have Been Wanting to Ask for A While Now? I see a lot of Different Cars Posted in the Lounge Some from the U.K. France,England,Etc. What I Want To Know And it Pertains Mainly to Car Club Stickers I Have Noticed A Lot of Cars Running DKP Stickers? that are out of the Country Are the Sticker Repops? or Are They Just Giving the Stickers Out To Anyone These Days?? It Use to Be When You Were A VW Car Club You attended Club Meetings and Outtings Your Car Had to Pass Strick By Laws of The Club I Know That The DKP I Knew and Grew Up With (DKP 1 DKP 2) even though I Was In A Different Club We Always Had Weekly Meetings and if You Car Did Not Pass the Weekly Club Inspections your Decals were scraped until you Car meet the Standards of The Club. There are Cars I have Seen Posted Here Running DKP Stickers that would have never Passed The Original Club By Laws. I Know that all these cars can not be in the Club Unless they just started Passing out Stickers The Original DKP1 DKP2 as Well as DSK are Motto Was Always Quailty not Quanty which means The Best Of The Best..

DKK had the same policy as far as club stickers. I remember members being asked to pull their stickers while their cars were "in transition."
I don't know where all the DKP stickers are coming from other than someone must be copying them illegally. From what I can see the club does keep pretty tight grip on the passing out of stickers. Yet a couple of months back I saw a really beat bus with a DKP sticker in the rear window.

Sadly there have been many DKP repros printed in Europe, some good, some little more than photocopies of photos... There have been only two people outside the US voted into the club, myself and Nao Fujita in Japan (Nao was working for Flat 4 at Santa Monica at the time), so you can understand why I get a little p•ssed when I see so many club logos about the place. Some members have given decals to people as souvenirs, but it is meant as that – a souvenir, not a licence to pretend. I always ask the simple question: why not start your own club, with your own logo?  |

I have grabbed numerous bootlegged DKP stickers from a handful or so different vendors, at different VW events all over the country. In each case, I have either bought them all!, or got the vendor to just give them to me, to get this crap off the market. I bet I have grabbed well over 100 hundred DKP stickers over the course of the last two years. I gave them all to the club. It really pisses me off to see some so-so car out in the middle of nowhere, have DKP stickers on the window! I usually go out of my way to let the owner know how "pleased" I am about his mis-use of those stickers, and what they really mean to the true members of the DKP.

With Our Club DSK if we saw a Car That had our sticker in the window and was not in the club we would ask the owner to remove it or we would scrape it ourself as far as I am Concerned The Club Stickers are Club Property and if a Member ever sold his car the Decals had to be Removed The Cars I see these Days Would Have Never Made The DKP By Laws there only a few in the Lounge That are Running the Stickers that are actually Members Even when I was in DVB, When I Left I Had To scrape my Decals and Turn in my Jacket Patch we could keep our Club T shirt but who else would want to wear it LMAO!!!

This is one of those non-winnable issues unfortunatly. If you complain too much, then you are branded as an Elitist Bastard. Sure some people honestly dont understand the pride that goes along with a pair of stickers, but most who run them outside of the club couldnt care less.
Just having a club can be more hassle than it is worth. You make the club, you list the rules and then people complain that you are snobs because thier car is not nice enough to fit in your "snob club". Its a no-win, LOL.

Again, only two DKP members are located outside the U.S.: Keith Seume (Hi Keith!) and Nao Fujita.
Therefore, the Ghia seen here is not a DKP member - I incidentally know the owner, Fred, a very nice guy. I'm not sure where he found that sticker, but I think a guy in France produced a few.
That sticker is a poor repro. Not a decal transfer (that goes inside the window), but a thick sticker (that goes outside the window). And the colors are wrong, too...

well, i guess it is in a lot of cases a tribute to the club. DKP must be one of the best known, maybe even THE best known club in the scene, and it makes people anxious to 'belong' to it i guess. putting stickers as a tribute some sort doesn't make it OK to do. i my humble opinion it goes a bit the same with 'the look'. i read a topic where people ask what is accepted and what not (me too have asked opinions about mirrors and such, so i am equally guilty) but what really matters is your own creativity within the guidelines. everybody can build a nice callook to their own taste and not looking like the next car at the show. be original. try to be different but subtle. that is what callook is about. more is less. not more of the same. the same goes for stickers and clubs. i think callookclubs should grow. the movement has grown bigger and bigger the last couple of years and some very nice cars can be seen at shows worldwide nowadays. so the best thing to do is get more clubs started and have a healty competition between us all. like being brothers from different mothers to use another cliché. just look at DAS for example: a little Belgian club that has been arround for 15 years and look how far they got. big respect to them for doing so many nice things. great races and good atmosphere and great creeting card (check ultra VW). (btw you DAS-guys need more type 3's in your club  ) |

Come on guys and beat me on this one. Back in 1993 I had this friend working in a T-shirt and decal printing buisness............So I managed to make a copy out of some old mag of the DKP stickers.....lot's of work and not perfect.....We even made T-shirts back then..............................So after a few years the DKP thing got big and everybody had to have this stickers/t-shirts so we did hide them and forgot about them.......................A few years after we started to get together, we sort of got to a point where we settled for a name (it took 7 years) and we are still going strong under the name Der Bruckenrenners or DBR....we have a heritage that goes back to 92 so it is cool to be part of this.......and see history being made..................We have our own name, we have our own collection of cloths, we have a heritage, we have even been in a few magazines with our cars over the years..........It bascily started with copying the DKP stickers.......So offically from me: Sorry to all you guys in the DKP, forgive us we did not know any better and thanks guys for inspiring us to make our own history!!! Happiness is a Hot VW!! |

I thought the blue was a little too bright. |

So far the only Green Heart stickers that I've seen are on club cars. If they start to be seen on rusty buses they better be careful, we've got Large in our ranks as 'Chief Snide Sticker Puller'  |
