Yes you should, and I don't think this part is prone to making squeaks.

I can't imagine they would do much for you, proving when and where the scratches appeared would be difficult now.

Either live with it or get some product which might polish it out, e.g G Tech P2, or the like.

Emailed the dealership, they have booked it in for Thursday to replace the part!

Good for you.

Does highlight that the RRE is not especially durable, mostly down to soft or easily deformed plastics. I had a wheel arch surround damaged from a minor impact from a door, cheap to replace but I would much rather it was more durable in the first place. The high gloss plastics inside are also vulnerable.

I feel we should all bubble wrap the car... I don't mind a few scratches... When I detail the car, they will all be looked after... Go and enjoy the car....

Just got back from the dealer. They can't replace just the surround, its the whole centre console. Took a bit longer than expected but happy that its done. Hats off to Stratstone Swansea for very good service.

Yep, bought my winter wheels and tyres from them. Really helpful team there.
