Open your driver side door.  There should be a sticker there stating what model it is.  hope this helps   ;)

It could well be on your log book. Failing that you should have a stick on the highlighted area in the below pic (mine has been removed).

The stiker should state the model code, variation and variou other info including Typr R, S, X, RZ etc etc
