- MY21 CTR LE (AUS-008)
The problem is for each market and year model Type R they incrementally number the last 5 digits. So say I have a MY18 produced for Australia with 00156, that means it's the 156th Australian MY18 Type R. But there was also no doubt an Australian MY17 that had 00156. When they do the same for every market you can't have any correlation to the badge number.Hey everyone, first post here. Just picked up a 2017 CTR with super low mileage, as I didn't want to deal with markups or fighting tooth and nail with dealerships.
Either way, my VIN number ends in 197, but my badge number is 1970. I was wondering wtf the discrepancy was about. I think it's kind of dumb of Honda not to make the plaque number match the VIN number. As if it would've been that hard to do to have them sequential. To owners- to anyone spending huge money on essentially an economy car- you'd think Honda would give it's fans just that. There's a sense of pride knowing and sharing your number within the community. Honda knows there are 538494716 Type R fans, also. I consider us as brand ambassadors- we are selling Hondas for Honda by talking about the many ups of the car.
