How to tell if you have 2003 C230k sedan Sport Package?

I'm changing my rotors, and the shop asking me if i have the sport package.

the sedan has 17" but the caliper is a standard with no mercedes benz marking.

is there a way to find out if i need a "sport package" rotor, or a regular one

any help is appreciated.

Why dont they just remove your wheel and get the part number off your rotor? It would take like 5 minutes.

I assume its the same as any other w203...it'll have a sport badge on the moulding in front of the front doors.

I have an '03 'sport' C230. They did not come stock with the sport brakes - get the regular size rotors. One way of making sure is to measure them (diameter), most parts places give the diameter of the rotor.

if you have cross drilled front rotors with fixed calipers (4 pots or 2 pots) then you have the sport package, the calipers look smooth and finished with either 4 exposed hex bolts or 2 star style bolts.
All the others have regular vented rotors and single piston floating calipers made by Lucas, calipers are rusty and claw like
