I do like stock body a lot, just with better aftermarket wheels and pulled guards.
Like 9J (F) and 10J (R) would be nice on stock body. maybe some small trim pieces to accentuate the body a lil bit.
Gav you trying to make big power?

Boo to sleeper....this is '07 about to be '08, not '99. I'm not saying just concentrate on body work, I say do engine suspension first, then do some body work (aero, paint, wheels). Sleeper cars are so played out and old, make the car look good too, at least get OEM aero (I know still stock, but at least it looks decent and not garbage).

If you want a sleeper buy a Maxima, and then rape everyone. People kind of assume a 240sx will be modified or at least aren't surprised when it is, just like Civics. But I don't know if 240sx's over in England are nearly as wide spread so you may get away with it, and I am a fan of sleepers(OEM aero is cool, at least on cars that have OEM options) so I say go for it.

That is true, 240's are assumed to be modded already so..
But I do love sleepers also, though how sleeper you want it to be is entirely up to you.Also it depends on what type of racing you plan on doing, weather it's drag, canyon, auto-x, me I'm more into canyon runs so my set-up might be different fro yours.
Externally this is what I would do:
Circuit Sports Exhaust
Z32 TT Wheels - Good Sticky Tires
Kouki Side Skirts
Take the wing off the Trunk
And a Conservative Drop of ~1.8-2"
And a Small Front Splitter made from ABS Plastic for a bit more grip and some what looks.
The best mods you can do is improve your driving skills and weight reduction.

i like the sleeper look and hate it for the same reason. it doesnt attract attention from cops wich is good but i want people to see my car and be like damn. a 240 could could never be a sleeper cause people hear the skyline engines that owners put into them. now a civic can be sleeper cause people dont really expect anything from civics. not every car should be low key.
