Default Source for new Start button and paddle shifters

Has anyone found a good source for these? My orange has worn off my start button and the shifters are just starting to show a little wear.

Are you still in warranty?

Dunno about a cheap source, but the part numbers (all Ignis Orange) and the prices on the Britcar site (in GPB) are:
Stop/Start button T2R18771, 17.51
Paddle Left T2R18073, 148.64
Paddle Right T2R18074, 148.64.
Most other prices I see are on a par, so the button is fairly cheap but the paddles are a complete rip off!

I just purchased replacements for all three (I preferred black) from the dealer in Nashville for about $70.

5 minutes to install all three in their parking lot with a torx driver for the shifters, and a drywall screw and Phillips screwdriver for the start button.....

It looks and feels a great deal better.

"a drywall screw and Phillips screwdriver for the start button."

I'll admit I haven't examined the landscape, but a drywall screw???

Rather than prying the console trim panel out to “push” the old button out from the rear, I just started a drywall screw into the button from the front, and pulled it out and threw it away.
Very easy. Literally took seconds....

Just replaced my start button. If you want a less destructive method than the one above, I got mine out by slipping some dental floss behind the black bezel and winding it around and then just some steady traction till it popped out. Very easy.

Has anyone seen a red version of this switch. Pretty sure I remember seeing one but could be imagining it. If it does exist, does anyone know the part number?

Paddles 27 USD each, button 17 USD. Black or ignis orange button only, no red. If it were red, how would you see the pulsating red heartbeat?

Lance, it looks like there are two paddle switches shown on the diagram, with the first part # 5 T2R18074 being the black one cost $26.21 and the second part # 5 being the ignis orange one cost $228.17.
Nearly nine times the price for a bit of fancy orange paint, they gotta be joking!
