replacing coin holder plastic

[MKZ4000]

I would like to replace the coin holder piece of plastic on my good lady's Z which has a few scratches.

I'm referring to the curved section that sits under the handbrake?

Does it just pop out or is it necessary to remove other parts of trim to get it out ?

The part below the handbrake separates into 3 pieces marked 1, 2 and 3 below.



Its pretty easy to get #1 out as it requires lifting the #3 plastic surround for the gear lever gaiter (one with the hazard and lock buttons on) and maybe the leather armrest for the handbrake. These are both just clipped in so a set of plastic pry tools is will do the job. Then you can slide #1 forwards and out.

Part #3 is also then quite easy to replace as it just requires removing the leather gear lever gaiter and unclipping the buttons bracket.

As for #2, I have never done this. To me it looks like it clips underneath the aluminium/piano black/wood trim piece which means that would need removing first.

Thanks for that. Yes, part 1 is the piece in question

What model and trim colour is it?
Realoem says it could be:
Black - 51167158485 - Facelift
Beige - 51167158486 - Facelift
No colour mentioned - 51167026223 - pre-facelift

Plugging any of those numbers into google finds many options.
