I'm sure you can find this if you searched but here are the basics, someone will be along soon the fill in the bit i've missed.

Sports will all have the bodykit as standard, (M-Tech 1 for pre-facelift, M-Tech 2 for post-facelift)
Close ratio gear box
LSD
Sport seats (leather or cloth depending on spec)
Black Headling (often the tell tail sign of it being real or not)
15" BBS crosspokes
M-Tech steering wheel (1 or 2, depending on year, some early post-facelifts still had M-Tech 1 wheels)
Leather Gearknob

I'm guessing they all came with electric windows, OBC, check control panel and sunroof(electric?)

Most other things would have been extras i think. I'm sure there's things I've missed and got wrong but the basics are there.
