Based on the above info, your Spyder is a Special Edition. I believe someone had previously posted that they tried to get a replacement badge; but, BRP said no.

Good luck.

It's sure nice to see some original owners still around, that can reach back into the archives, and can come up with a proper answer. :bowdown:

:agree: Wylie may not be, "As old as dirt"; but he can remember when it was still pretty darn young! :bowdown:

If I can't get replacement plaques from BRP directly, I will see about getting a set made. I feel my spider deserve that much from me. Lol!
I will try and post the results.

:thumbup: You might want to check with Arntufun; I believe that he re-created his plaques with some custom colors...

Initially, there were supposed to be 1500 Premier Edition Spyder GS. They kept rolling out the numbers and it seems there were over 3500 or so.

#1 would be collelctible--and I believe that went to Jay Leno. The jury is out on the others. I had a 2008 GS but not a labeled premier edition.

When RT came out in 2010 they tried the Premier Edition ploy again. I had number 474. This time, the information was stitched on the seat. Being a premier edition, did not seem to have any affect on value. From a collectors standpoint on the 2010, a non-issue.

I have #21.
I was once told by a can am rep that he remembers having 15-20 in the demo fleet, so I'd guess they're long gone.
approx. 9000 miles on #21. I am original owner even though #21 did some travelling before being purchased. It started at a dealer in New York that went out of business, so bank got the inventory of that dealer. Then a dealer in Wisconsin bought from bank, where I bought it and brought it back to Kansas City with 5 miles on it.

I also spent about an hour and a half on the phone with Can Am a couple years ago where he and I actually went thru VINs and build dates. They didnt necessarily come down the line in numerical order. The build date on my #21 was actually earlier than some that had lower numbers. They may have been grouped by auto/manual tranny, color, etc. Yes, I know mine isnt the oldest, but its darn close

This picture might just give you the best template for the replacements...
