Like I said matey, you seriously need some proper stoppers with that engine in a narrower focus with anything smaller than 8x18 wheels. These did well for me and are also fitted to Will's Focus

Looks nice and that will upset a few people.Would look like a proper sleeper if it was on steel wheels and with 3 wheel trims on lol.

Very cool.

I think your average 'person in the street' will expect an ST170 to be quick so not quite as much of a sleeper as it could be.
Shame its not a 4 door with scuffed bumpers and some kiddy sunshades in the back.
It does look good though, nice and subtle. It'll certainly surprise the other Ford boys and folk more in the know.

I agree, not a 'proper' sleeper but still cool in its own way.

Nice car, but it's definately not a proper sleeper, still looks sporty and people will expect it 'to go' a little...

Your 'average person on the street' wouldn't know what an ST170 is though! It's hardly a sporty looking car. It is to those in the know, but to the general public it's just another Focus. It's not as 'sleeperish' as some, but still def a sleeper!
