Hi Alan,
Nice to hear of another Cheshire owner. Mine is a 2012 Antara SE 184 AWD Man and has a full size 19" alloy wheel fitted under the boot floor. My struggle with vx to get this is well documented elsewhere as is the generosity of the dealership. However it was not Grimshaws of Eccles who carried out the conversion rather a body shop that they used, unfortunately they have recently become part of the Pentagon group and Alan Grimshaw has gone, so I can't ask for you. I have posted elsewhere photos of the conversion in response to other requests but it is basically quite simple and just needs a strip of material about 1" thick under the hinges and two similar pieces at the front of the floor. The problem it would appear from posts that the 2013 cars have a different layout under the floor, and of course a new alloy, tyre, jack and wrench is close to £1000 I am told. If it would help I could gather together the photos and perhaps a local body shop could do it for you.
