I was recently rewarded by the friendly community that is DDK.
Out of the blue a treat arrived for me.
It came beautifully packaged in a jewel case and presented without a note or any indication of the sender. An anonymous gift.

And what a gift! 8)
A genuine early Porsche bonnet badge enamelled with a bar of green.
It's superb, a fabulous idea. A slice of lime. :alien:

I think it's just the coolest thing about my car. It will wear it with pride.
The lime green is a perfect match. And the quality is exemplary.
Truly a 'maverick' badge. It's quirky and very much in DDK style. :)

I tell you, there's some clever and very generous folk on this forum. :salute:

Very smart. Clearly done by someone who knows the difference between design and tat - too easy for this sort of thing to go the wrong way. Applauded!

It's the thought that counts firstly, but it looks great too!
I can see a DDK signature trend here, colour coded badges, but you have the original, very DDK.

The Lime Bar Badge is oh so very cool. But the feeling behind it being created and gifted in that way, makes it way cooler.

Warmed the cockles of my tiny frozen heart! Respect. 8)

I really like that but again it's the thought that counts double. Whoever it was, you get double kaa points ;-))
