Default Interior lining damage repair or replace?

I have just damaged one of the interior lining panels see picture. I would like to know whether this can be repaired or whether it has to be replaced. If the latter where would I find one?

Surface damage can it be repaired

My son has that exact same damage on the 2007 XKR he just bought. I suggested he get it fixed, but to HIM, he says he never folds the seats forward and nobody gets into the back, so why bother? He DID use a black sharpie on it though, to get rid of the contrasting color.

Can be repaired. There is a service my local Aston dealer uses to repair leather. I am sure it's the same service other exotic marques use locally when a customer needs the same kind of repair. I would ask your local exotic car dealership's service manager if they know of the same and could schedule.

An upholstery shop may be able to get it done too.

I would try the repair route before going to the next more expensive level.

I've REMOVED THE POLL from your thread. As you are seeking more advice than a simple A or B selection, it was inappropriate.

Looks terrible and you must be seething.

A few years ago this would have needed a replacement but repair is now an option. As an example, have a look at Furniture Clinic website:
https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-repair-kit

Several members (including me) have used their leather dye kits on seats with good results so I'd expect their leather and vinyl repair kits to be equally effective.
