But seriously, like ljtC6 said, some paint will probably be the only answer.

Console scratch
Yea I know it was dumb, but when putting in my harness I scratched the console (silver) and it shows to the black plastic beneath. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Will I need to repaint the whole console? Can I just touch it up? (How?)

You could try using Machine Silver touchup paint. The colors are almost the same, although the console is less shiny. Slight blotting of the touchup might dull it enough to match. BTW, the painted wheels are also appear the same as MS.

Pay an interior man to touch up
At our dealer, we have a service that does interior repairs. I know our guy is very, very good. Call a dealer and get a referral from a good company. I am confident you will be pleased.

Pricey, but buy a set of the 06 console parts. They appear to be more durable (& a couple of shades darker). I've got a black C6, so there's no "painted to color" replacements, and the carbon fiber really doesn't do anything for me.

To All
Thanks for the suggestions - I'll try the easy / least expensive first. I plan to DRIVE this car not show it but .. if it bothers me too much I may go with the replacement. Thanks.
