Welcome apple
My Dad-in-law has a Note, with the 1.5 DCi turbodiesel. My opinion is that its shape poses a problem for Kammbacking, but grille blocks, flat hubcaps, rear wheelskirts and a bellypan should be easy. And an engine kill switch when you are ready.
As Daox mentioned, lay off the brakes, use coasting and engine braking instead. My best is
8km of city driving without using my brakes.

Great chance to switch to a thinner oil (5W30 instead of 10W40, for example). This will slightly reduce engine friction, and shouldn't be a problem since your engine temps won't be as high when you start hypermiling.
