Just realized who you are Shoduchi, I've seen your build thread before and really liked what you've done! is yours hard to keep clean with the exposed exhausts on a diesel? or does yours have a DPF?
Thanks Jaffa! And yes I did! He helped me a lot and gave me a lot of great advise although i think I might of driven him nuts with the constant emails! He told me they where yours to begin with? how old are they?

Shoduchi:
I had the DPF removed when I got the GTB1749V, the reinforced clutch and the oil cooler. Then I had to get a new map that was made to keep a low smoke level. Only near 4.000 rpm I start to see a grey smoke. I still have to get it to a dyno to check what's the current output. The BLS injectors are limiting my power atm. The turbo can go up to 200 BHP.

Before I had everything stock (DPF included) and was mapped to around 140 BHP. The dyno run gave more (149 HP) but that dyno is famed for giving some imaginary BHP. With a DPF you have no smoke.

Doing the usual driving my rear keeps clean of smoke. Just with dust from the roads and the rain.

I thought I recognised them!
They weren't  mine they were his wheels but I think I used them more than he did.

I'm not sure how long he had them, maybe around 18 months. Lovely wheels tho the fitment is spot on

Only thing I'd suggest is a set of sideskirts

anduhchunkymonkey:
I've thought of sideskirts before but it looks like it could be a bit of a pain to put them on as they're a stick on job and not a bolt on job if i'm right?

jaffa:
Few screws and some double sided tape, makes a big difference imo and ties the car in front to back
