im gonna build a bit of a sleeper with my next project, im attempting a 306 gti-6/xsara vts engine into a citroen berlingo! couple of little touches like citroen alloys and gti-6 brakes and the leather from the gti-6 as well, but keep the exterior a bit battered

I think any corsa with a big engine in is a sleeper to be fair, half the people on the road wouldnt expect them to be quick

from my vast experiences of driving a corsa on the roads, nobody ever expects them to be fast. especially not ferrari and lambo owners.

how fast does it have to be before it is classed as a sleeper?

check my project threads in my sig.
not ultimate but still "sleeper" although ronnie was a better sleeper as it was more rough on the edges

It wasn't the tidiest, the astra alloys hid the brakes and the exhaust had a standard looking tailpipe.
It went like the clappers, had many a laugh in that car we did.
I don't have any pics. maybe he does though??
Thanks for bringing this up, I cant seem to find any pics but as John explains a plain blue 5 door corsa complete with a few odd rust patchs in the usual places that had been rubbed down and primered (from what i remember) full exhaust with practically standard tailpipe. typical 1.2 badges on the back never washed with normal looking vauxhall alloys. in other words it looked like an uncared for semi-battered car until someone tried it on...........
So stupid of me to sell it on, the amount of enjoyment you get from wasting people cant be matched
