Apart from that, its looking at the car and identifying the various trim, mechanical and other bodywork differences which make up a GTI. For example, in no particular order:
black dash (if series 1) with rev counter
black headlining
red grille surround
rear anti-roll bar
slightly larger exhaust system diameter and back box etc
GTI badges front, rear; later cars would also have GTI on the 4 button steering wheel
golf ball gear knob
5 speed from (can't remeber the year) onwards
correct seats and trim
if not black car, black surround on rear hatch
wheels/suspension - but probably altered by now
correct engine
correct brackets in engine bay for fuel injection airbox, washer bottle on other side, etc
vented front discs (probably altered)
load compensating valve on hatchback
There's probably lots more I've missed.
