[s-cars] New motor mounts

[chris chambers]

Sean,

I called the local stealer, a FLAPS and Adirondack, they all state
that the 443 199 379 D is for the right and 443 199 379 E is for
the left.

Adirondack even checked in multiple "guides"

I really don't think it's going to make any difference, the mounts 
look exactly the same to me. But figured yo and everyone else should
know.

Chris
