Smile C55 AMG Performance Pack

Hey Team,

I'm new here so if this has been covered please feel free to slap this newbie.

I just recently purchased an 05 C55 Estate and am mildly obsessed with the hugely rare 'AMG Performance Pack' options. I realise that without being the Sultan of Brunei I can't just get AMG to retrofit the options onto my car 13 years after its release and I'm also not one for non OEM parts to make mine look like the real thing...anyway, would love to get in touch with a performance pack C55 owner who may have any further info on these unicorns.

In the meantime, I spotted one for sale out of Italy - f%#k they're so dope (if only it was RHD, I'd buy it in a heart-breath):

I've never heard of a c55 in the States having a Performance Pack option. What was on the menu besides the bumper?

the headliner and bumper on that car look to be aftermarket. The wheels look like reps to me also. I think it is a standard amg and maybe a tune?

As far as I know, the Performance Pack was optional only in the german market for some time. If I´m wrong, please correct me!

I am probably the only one who don´t think the front special F1-spoiler match the rest of the car, it´s too "squarish" compared to the smooth lines of the rest of the car.
I have a wagon myself since 12 years... Have a friend of mine who changed his to the CLK one, it looks kind of "awkward" in my eyes.

I contacted AMG in Germany years back and was told that the bumper is only available to the owners of the car as purchased. (VIN-related).
Also, not available in NA cars because of NA regulations.
