Default scratches on centre tunnel - wrap?

Gooday. I am getting some scratches on the centre tunnel plastic, behind the cup holder cover (probably my fingernails from when I lift the cubby cover). Is there some sort of fascia that can be clipped over it all? Wrap is an option though I dont know how well it will adhere to the rubbery plastic, or whether there will be an issue pulling it off.

I just cleaned mine with Mirror Glaze Cleaner#17 and Mirror Glaze Polish#10. Not 100% but definitly better.

BTQ,
Pretty sure you are talking about the little rectangular black plastic piece which you lever/pry off to access the emergency Park pawl release.
In which case it's a part you can replace with a new one.
Trouble is I can't find the damn thing in my parts searches as I dunno what it is called so I can't link you to it or give you a ballpark cost!
I suspect you or someone else would have better luck finding it.

My bad.
I was thinking of the correct panel but I mixed it up with the Park release cover panel which is in the cubby.

Yeah it might be easier to wrap it anyway though I'd have to dismantle the cup holder cover to get the best finish, I did that with my XKR to pretty good effect, but in this car I like the dark hex finishers and I dont know what wrap will look good with it.

Probably very easy to wrap, and 3M wrap (or Vvivid) would adhere just fine if you clean with ISA first. Likely a matte/satin black would match best?? That will be the only challenge, is matching the color...Or maybe just wrap it all...

Good luck,
DC

Yeah gloss black would match the inside of the shifter surround but it always shows finger marks.
