I ultimately traded the car (earlier than I planned, for my new M5) before dealing with it, but I can try to pull PNs again if you're interested!

My biggest concern would be to start pulling apart factory mated components and screwing something else up while trying to swap the pieces, so I was not going to do it myself, though it's totally doable. People pull apart the doors to put in new door speakers all the time. Just not something I'd want to do.
Thanks for this - I completely agree with the sentiment of not wanting to replace for fear of screwing something else up!

Ultimately I will try to see if there is something to "lessen" the appearance of the scratches vs replacing the panels (and then scratching them up again through regular use!)
You're welcome! Please let us know what you find!
