C16se is a 79 bore and the rings are 1.2/1.5/3
So that kit won't fit

He just rang
cost 74 euro + postage so around 65-70 pound then 5-10 for postage I'd guess

Is it worth doing them as read that the 16se is bullet proof so thinking of just doing the head high lift cam and get it all cleaned up and painted up

Well if your taking the pistons out anyway it makes sense to do them
But personally I wouldn't unless you can see any obvious signs of wear in the bore
