Thanks to kris I was able to order the wood trim. Dealer called me back after one day to tell me it is in backorder and it has to be ordered at the factory. Price is 68 euros.

The part should be in and I reviewed the steps to swap it out. It looks like I will only need one special tool to take out the central locking system button to get to a screw. They should have those on hand. I will call them tomorrow and check up.

You don't need any special tools other than a screw driver which you should carefully use.?

Anybody have install instructions ???
If it's as easy as the rear trim piece I would definitely DIY.

It is pretty easy. First you have to take off the Hazard and Central locking system buttons to remove a screw behind them. You then remove the trim piece that surrounds the 2 buttons. From there you wedge a screwdriver behind the panel that has the A/C controls and push the handle forward to pull the trim from the clips. Once that is removed you repeat the same process on the trim piece you are replacing and then put the pieces back on in reverse order.
