Thanks guys this has been a very useful thread.

Would be interested to see how much smoke comes out and whether you notice more of a diesel smell around the car than normal. When i accelerate I always leave a decent amount of smoke behind, so I would hate to see what it's like out of pipes directly exposed?

My understanding was all diesel cars have the Exhausts hidden, audi's mercs etc I have never seen a diesel with the pipes exposed.
