I couldn’t find what I had with my vin, but this isn’t helping either.

SE or Sport? They have different suspension as stock.

A photo further out showing the whole strut and spring assembly (preferably wheel off) will help those in the know tell you whether you have OEM or a popular aftermarket.

And why do you want to know. Are you having problems?
 
Garage mentioned I needed to get them done on an advisory for my MOT so thought id get them done. Didn't realise how hard it was to work out if they were m sport or standard :lol: How do I know if it is an SE?

It might be on your registration document, or you could look it up on a vin decoder (plenty of links on here). Basically the Sport had M-sport seats and lowered suspension as standard, although they were fitted as an option to some SEs. If your car has the basic sport seats with detachable headrest, it’s a SE. If it has the M-Sport seats with extendable thigh bolster then it’s probably a Sport.

Still, take a better photo of the suspension, as many of these cars have had their suspension revised when the originals wear out, or just as an upgrade.
 
I just stuck that number in realoem and it seems to suggest standard suspension.
The m-Sport ones are listed separately on that same page.

Legend thank you mate.
 
Have you ever used realoem?
Very useful tool.
You can pop a part number into the box top left and it will show you where it's fitted.
