Heavenly, there is a whole bunch of the genuine carbon stuff on eBay...
As for removing them the console is a little like this... this gets the console off, I didn't need to replace anything connected to it as I just needed to remove an old Bluetooth system)
Remove the cup/phone holder.
Pull out the trim with the duo select lever.
Pull the clock/vents out (a spring clip on each side)
Then there are 4 Phillips screws, two where the clock was and two at the bottom... pull it all forwards, remove a dozen plugs from the aircon, radio, etc and you have everything free to take indoors to figure out how it's all bolted to the facia. Don't forget your radio code before you pull it all out!
