I have just fitted the wheel arch extension kit that will allow you to put the 9/10Jx19 or 10/11Jx20 OEM wheel option on the SE that came from the factory with 8.5Jx18.
Original arch back

The front arch is basically the same


New arch front and back




Original 18” Wheels


New 19” M Sport wheels


Fitting instructions to follow

Paul, your pictures disappeared, can you report them somehow?

Or can someone else post their pics?

I am about to install the kit however I observed that the rivets come in two sizes. A couple of them are shorter I was wondering where do those go?

One size is for the front, the other for the rear. Look carefully at the rivet STYLE and shape when you remove them ... GL
