It's very scratchy isn't it? :ROFLMAO:

I think that centre console bit will be absolutely trashed in about 2 weeks time.

I'm nearly 9 months into ownership, and use it pretty much every day, and mine's still ok. I guess it depends on how you use it, and how closely you're looking.
 
For me it's the driver's plastic kick panel that is taking a beating.

My garage is small so I always end up dragging some part of my foot over it when I get in/out of the car.

It's the push button on the centre console that seems to be scratched very easily for me! Will need to put something on it

Yes mines scratched after 2 days. You can get little carbon covers on aliexpress. Might purchase

This arrived today and it’s very nice actually.

Looked for the centre console bit but all appear to be for LHD.

Could just go all out and get the TRD set but not sold on the (very) 90’s vibe

Airspeed do seem to have most of the centre console bits as carbon overlays.

I tell you what I have discovered today, a very nicely covered trim panel, covered in that fuzzy felt type stuff. My old BMW had it inside the glove box and a small cubby hole by the drivers knee for sunglasses, wallet, coins, that kind of thing, probably to keep noise down from stuff rattling around in there. And where is this trim panel you might wonder, underneath the car, about a meter square around the gearbox area. WTF?! All the other panels are hard plastic or aluminium, why put that kind of covering on something under the car? Noise reduction? Gobsmacked anyway.
