Small or large top mounts

[Mb26]

I have a 2010 RS200 with cup pack - and I’d like to replace dampers with coilovers..but don’t know if I’ve got the early or later top mounts..
Can someone who knows which top mounts they have, please share a picture of what it looks like before stripping the car?
many thanks

I think that cars made after May 2010 came with the new size top mounts.

I have a 2010 cup with old style top mounts. This is a photo I took to show how dirty the area around the mount was.

later style

Thanks Both.. looks like I need to strip the scuttle cover off to see what I have… think it requires a special tool.. which is why I was hoping there would be differences in the cover that made it obvious..(I will pay someone to fit coilovers due to my obvious incompetence )

It is easy to get the scuttle off. There are a few plastic type screws but it comes off with a bit of brute force once all of the screws/retaining clips are off.

Coilovers are easy enough to install yourself provided you have got the right tools and enough time. I had very little experience with “fixing” cars until I got my 200. With patience and assistance my coil overs were installed on my drive.

What you pay a garage to install coil overs could be used either for your own confidence to know that they have been installed correctly, or used to buy other upgrades.
