help! i need to fix this!

hi,
i have a dent in the aluminium interior trim piece on the passenger side (my car is right hand drive).

i don't even know how it happened but it's really pissing me off everytime i get into the car.

is there a way i can get this fixed? will i have to buy a new trim piece? is it one whole piece that goes onto the driver's side or what?

i can't find much info on these pieces online. all i can find r whole sets that replaces every piece in the car.

is it easy to take the dash apart to replace the part?

if someone could point me to a website online that sells these piece by piece that would be awesome. thanks!

here's some pics:

The part pops right out, thats one whole peice from the start button all the way across. This would be a perfect time to wrap the interior in carbon its only $40 for a yard, I guess that would be the cheapest option for you.

go to realoem.com to find the part number of that part and then order it from the dealer. you wont need to buy the whole set. you can buy just that piece if you want.

What kind of dash is that?

edit: lol, nevermind your in australia. Stick a flat head by the start button and pull out. The start button unclips easy, then there are two clips on the center vent area. One has a little push button and the other just pulls out. Then wrap with carbon fiber trim or put on the replacement. I dont think you can fix it.

thanks for the replies guys.
i'll look into how much it'll cost to replace first.
if it's too much, i'll consider wrapping
