Making T5-R replica 850 1996

A couple days ago I purchased a black 96 855 turbo. I have always been an enormous fan of the T5-R and was wondering if there is any aftermarket or place where I can find cheap OEM components to make a replica? I am talking about bumpers, rear tailgate wing, amount lowered, aftermarket wheels that are close in design etc.

Thanks

    Are you kidding me, of course you can!!!!I think Ebay have a couple of Titans replica or the real mccoy for sale; or you can get the new s60"r" rims which to me(and most people) is the Titan but in a brighter finish. As for the chin-spoiler, a few overseas outfits make similiar ones but it may be pricey and if you find one on an orig. T5R it may be damaged since they are prone to! The hardest part may be the 2-tone seats, other wise look hard enough and you will find all the necessary items to get a look-alike. Good luck!
    P.S- you have the right color to start off, so you're on the right track!!

    If I were in your place I would check with the local salvage yards. If not that then check out collision repair centers, etc., any place that purchases replacement body panels often, and ask their advice on obtaining the bumper, spoiler, etc. As for the wheels, you may want to check wheelcollsion.com. As far as making a replica, whatever works for you but I wouldn't really want to make my car into a replica b/c then I'd get embarrassed whenever any Volvo enthusiast takes a look at my car and discovers it's not the real thing.....But hey, I'm just a picky person. Would look nice on the street however...
