Beat up chrome shifter surround question...

Having just got my Audi I am amazed at how scratched up the chrome shifter surround is on the center console. Does anybody know what a new one of these runs and also if it is a difficult job to replace? Thanks!

Cost a lot to replace the bezel, do a search, many have done a brushed aluminum look...

that looks very nice!

Look in the tech section and Stoney's. The shifter surround pops up on ebay every now and then,

New from dealer costs $230+.
