Steering wheels Controls look horrible, What to do?

In The last Month I have fixed and/or CF Wrapped everything that was dented, scraped, broken or cosmetically ugly on the interior from the previous owner....... except for my Steering Wheel.
The Wheel itself is in Pretty good condition, But The Buttons and rubber coated Button Surround material looks like hell.

One of the Arrow Up Buttons lost it's silver paint coating and the surrounding plastics are all scratched up.
I would really love to Fix or replace the issue, But I'm On a budget like most of us.

Does anyone have any Ideas?
How much would it cost to replace the buttons?
Know of anyone who might have a clean used working set for sale?

...a panty dropper...
Check the partout threads and see if any of the W203 partouts still have the steering wheel controls on the airbag module so you can get them for cheap!
