Back from Sardinia and still thinking. While I am waiting for our QQ I keep having "Brainstorming" ideas and I am driving the wife Crazy. All of the QQ's 1,2l or Diesel I have looked at appear not have an "Exhaust Pipe" until you lay on your back and look underneath. Now my question is has some Bright Guy thought or looked into this ?. On the Juke there was a very simple Straight Chromed / St. Stl. Exhaust Trim attached. Has anybody thought about it, done it or even measured what is required, diameter, angle, clamping and legal length so that it does not stick out too far from rear Body ?.
There are some nice Exhaust Systems available at nice prices but my "Boy Racer" days on the streets are over it costs too much here now and I need my licence.

I must admit, there is something missing from the back of the QQ, but I don't think a tailpipe finisher is it! At least, not an after market one as it will be stuck below the bumper and just have the "bolted on" look about it! It needs to be cut into the bumper properly but I doubt you will find many people willing to do that yet!

Think the rear styling plate really sets off the back

Tend to agree with you there Foxy, I can't see that anything could be done for the tailpipe, but the styling plate looks good. But why so expensive for some plastic. I was wondering if you could easily mask off where the trim goes, buy some plastic paint sealant then spray with a matt chrome paint
