Pre-facelift console button paint lifting

[skikky]

Hey guys, the paint on the internal buttons and dials is lifting on my pre-facelift MG5. I was wondering of anyone else had this issue, and if it can be reversed or repaired?
I can't say Ive ever seen this in another car I've been in before

The dial problem has been seen before but I don't think we've had any reports on the switches.
Fortunately, the dial cover is replaceable (and quite cheap IIRC).

Glad to know it's cheap at least. The switches havent cracked or anything and honestly dont super bother me, but its definitely getting worse as time goes on

Thread 'Drive selector top'

Feb 2, 2024

Car went in for a service today, raised the issue of a peeling finish on the Drive selector top.

Returned as it was, the fault is classed as a trim issue which only has a 2 year warranty. They want to replace the entire selector at £172

I read on hear a couple of thread that peopl have been able to get just the top piece as it is just glued on. Are these available from MG and if so what part number please?

They quoted me £687 for some paint... bit much

Still available for £17 in the link to Browns & Gammons.

So I bought that part, and its the park button cover and not the twisty bit
This is a part I was wanting to replace eventually due to the deep nail marks in it at least, so its not a total waste
Im passing by Baldock on the Saturday so I think I'll pop by to see if they might have the specific part I need.
