Yes

It’s almost certainly the new style as mentioned but I’d say it’s best to check to be sure. There’s a chance your car could have been built before the change and sat around an import centre / dealer for ages.

Does anyone have pics of the 2 different types to compare? I've got a July 2010 200 and i'm not sure which type I have on mine.

July 2010 was the crossover date i believe.

If you look under the bonnet/scuttle. The late (Small) ones have a really small circle at the top. Whereas the early ones have a lot of rubber (Top mount) protruding through a larger hole.

There’s a thread on here somewhere that shows the differences. Try the search function.

Here’s a useful thread.

my car is a 2011 Clio 200 and I have the old top mounts... Not sure why but I recommend you to check by VIN number

Images bellow took them from another post can't remember where to post a link.

Just to clarify, the picture with the blue paint and the small opening in the shock tower is the later style top mount.

The picture with the silver paint and the large rubber bushing surrounding the bolt and nut is the early style top mount.
