ROFL... Look up the term 'Sleeper'
Thats why the steelies were good as it completed the 'sleeper' thing, just like the badges used to do on the tailgate.

Is this the car with the aa badge on the front?
I know its a strange question, if it is though this has got to be the best sleeper on the road.

i think it will still have the sleeper appeal a bit people will just think it is a mk3 with some rims on it when you see a 1.1 saxo with wheels you dont automatically think i wounder what engine he has do you?
