Lift the dust protection rubber and take a look at the strut shaft. If it looks like the one to the left in the picture, you got bilstein struts. The one to the right is a "standard" strut.
since you got the blue dust cover without bump stop, I guess that you got bilstein.Last edited by Yngvejos; 05-06-2011, 04:57 PM.

Normal struts will have the bump stop on the outside of the strut shaft while bilstein has the bump stops integrated in the strut housing.
