how many people assume that sleeper means shabby?!
as per original post sleeper would be mint condition or as close as I can get it.

IMO sleeper is standard looking with something special under the bonnet capable of smashing
Much more expensive assumingly quicker cars I.e a standard looking corsa running a c20let and smashing a porsche etc ??

Don't get me wrong any cad can potentially be a sleeper or e.g a standard looking gti6 but turbo charged or supercharged ?? For e.g my mate has a mk2 golf looks completely standard but has a near 400bhp 20v turbo it's a monster button the everyday person standard 8v :-)

Skirts and phase 3 front end purely say phase 3, there's no such thing as GTi specific trim.
Sleeper to me would be like Dum's sedan. Whatever bumpers you want, with steel wheels/hubcaps. Get some steelies that are 7J wide and stick some hubcaps on.

going with basic 15" steels...as got near brand new set of good 195/50/15 tyres.
like the ph1 look so not going for ph3 front end.
not slamming either...want it to be a usable handler...too low sucks for handling

I do and you are right in a way...the ph1 had different trim buts as a gti to the other less sporty models
