we once sprayed one in our 340R as I remember the parts were on back order for quite some time. turned out quite well actually....however removing and then refitting it without sctraching it again was a bit of a task

if I remember...the quickest and easiest way was to take out the seats

Yeah, I wonder if painting it - although it would look good it would probably scratch with daily use.

Don't paint it- looks cack. The boy before me painted my S1 surround to match to match the ali and its all scratched and worn.

G,
I'm considering getting mine Leatherised at the factory - as it's scrapped to bits too - only issue is when Mandy's driving the seat is soo far up that it rubs.
IIRC it's not too expensive a job from the factory trim shop

Well I thought about getting it done in the same kind of blue as the dash in Alcantara but worried it will get dirty easy.

Black carbon Leather G - that's the way to go. Matched with the very shiney lotus sport gate for the gear stick.

Might I also suggest you should worry about it making the inside of your car look like even more of a pufs parlour than it already does.

I've not done it yet.
Mandy needs the seat real close which would wear out the leather.
It's in the pipe line though.

Gareth,
Paint then armourfend may work.
You could always cover it in that blue fuzzy felt.
