I'm not an expert but I read an article that said the US could get in 1981-82 an "appearance S package" otherwise someone got the 928S front bumper with the air intakes, front spoiler, disc wheels & rear spoiler put on it.
Article on Wikipedia.org...
As the faster S model was not available in the USA and Canada during the first three years of its existence, a "Competition Group" option was created to allow North American customers to have an S model lookalike with spoilers, 16" flat disc wheels, sport seats, sport springs and Bilstein shocks. Customers could specify paint and interior colors the same way as on a normal 928. The package was available in 1981 and 1982 model years and was canceled in 1983 when the S model became available for these markets. Many cars have had S model features added by subsequent owners, making original "Competition Group" cars difficult to distinguish without checking option codes.
