United-Kingdom R53 or R56 HELP!!!

I know this question must come up time and time again so I'm really sorry in advance.

I just bought a 05 reg CooperS in Dark Silver (beautiful car). It just doesn't seen to pack enough punch, I'm pretty new to the world of modding and theres a bunch of stuff I want to get on with but I need to know if my car is an R53 or R56

Help would be greatly appreciated.
