Default Silver Engine Start button peeling

Anyone else has the silver engine start button peeling (silver missing on some of the letters) on their 2008 A8L (or other D3 A8L)?
(this is the button for the keyless start, right under the engine stop button)

Where can I find a spare part? anyone got it replaced under warranty? otherwise, if at an Audi shop, how much was it?

This is not critical but just very irritating.

Looks like an assembly for $99: http://www.audiusaparts.com/partloca...layCatalogid=0

Check with Jake or Loree to be sure that is the right part.

Mine started peeling within 2 years of purchasing my A5, took vehicle to 25K maintenance and told service advisor, they replaced it for free under warranty and they also took care of the MMI black key which started peeling as well around that time.
