if you can get the vin number of both yours and the other vehicle and we can check for you...or we can get you the part no, with just your vin...

other than that take pics of yours and go down and make sure the "landmarks" match, if that makes sense.

its the whole VIN to check but i know how people feel about posting their VIN online. but you can do it yourself. go to "google" and search "peugeot service box", create an account (its free) put your vin in and go to parts...it should list them
