I kind of doubt it with the relatively low volume of Saab wagons in the U.S. ultimately -- would it be profitable for someone to produce such an aftermarket piece? Doubtful.
I had an '02 Aero wagon that was rear-ended resulting in $4000 plus in damages. The shop replaced the bumper cover with a genuine Saab cover and it looked fine. Most of the damage was behind the bumper -- the spare tire well was pushed a bit and whatever bracing for the bumper was compromised.
The only thing I remember hearing at one point some time ago was that paint for plastic material should have some sort of flex additive to account for the give/take of the piece, otherwise the paint will crack or similar.
