Seb,
I just looked them up and the ones that you received appear to be the right ones for a C4 and C4S from 1999 to 2004. You should have part numbers 996-343-015-04-M100 and 996-343-016-04-M100.
I am not sure how C2 mounts made it onto the car, but that seems wrong. Do you know if someone replaced the struts before.
I would personally mount the factory correct parts and not replicate what was on the car before - who knows what the PO did.
