GT1s didnt come in broom. check the color code badge inside your tailgate. If its a GT1 thats been resprayed it wont say "258/A" unless somebody has just swapped that panel and painted the rest of the car to match it or cynically glued on the badge !
GT1 side skirts were black satin plastic not colour coded.
GT1 had stereo controls on the steering wheel.
GT1 badges on the tailgate had the "GT" letters next to Punto, not underneath the word Punto (but your bootlid might say otherwise!)
its obviously had some transplants over the years just like my GT3 with GT1 door cards - but its still a GT3.
