Is there a nice factory standard looking alternative to the horrible disco chrome surround trim piece that goes around the automatic gear lever in the cabin? The bit with the P-R-N-D-3-2-1 quadrant display in it?

Apart from just looking very disco cheesy and totally out of place in the rest of the cabin, it has a very annoying and practical downside as well. On sunny days the reflection of the sun through the windscreen off this piece of chrome trim is extremely dazzling to both the driver and front passenger. Frankly, I can't believe that VW ever did any vehicle testing of the car fitted with this piece of trim at all because a 5 minute drive on a non-cloudy day is all that's required to reveal this major problem. The reflection is so bad in fact, I would seriously put it in the 'dangerous' category for blinding the driver while driving.

Closing the sunroof makes no difference. It is the sun coming through the windscreen that's the issue rather than the sunroof, though the sunroof being open doesn't help either of course.

I'm hoping there is an alternative black trimmed piece instead that was fitted to lower grade models I can put in place. Mine is a GLE. Maybe I need to find a GL at a wreckers?
