I don't think that's a reliable indicator: my white, non-SPG has a sticker that says "Aero" on it.
Some indicators are:
--Sticker by the gas flap that says "Use Premium Unleaded Fuel Only"
--Driver's side visor info says to use VR-rated tires
--On '90 and '91 models, the Bosch # on the distributor ends in -010
--Leather interior, including leather shift boot
--3-spoke rims
--On '87-'91 SPGs, the springs will have either a silver or bronze paint mark on them
--Colors available were grey, black, red, & beryl green only in the U.S., and available colors varied from year to year.
--Convertibles with SPG cladding are, technically, not SPGs
--For certain years, the APC part number will be different than a standard 900T: 7524127 for '87-'89; 8857427 for '90-'91. P/N for a standard 900T is 7566599 for '87-'93.
--For '90 only: an SPG will have a Mitsubishi turbo, whereas a non-SPG will have a Garrett.
C900 VINs don't reflect trim level, which is all an SPG is--the highest trim level for a c900. You can call Saab and have them confirm a VIN for you.
