Petrol/Gas Filller Flap

Car is a black 2018 PFL coupe, the petrol filler flap looks like its dis coloured, picture doesnt really show it but in sunlight the difference in colour in between the bodywork and filler flap is quite noticable.

To fix this would it be a respray of the flap or can the flap be ordered pre painted from MB for a straight swap?

Car is still under warranty. Dis coloured blades on the front bumper have already been replaced and the roof rack inserts look like they are turning purple, anywhere else I should look for dis colouration?

To be honest I can't see shiit it looks normal to me in that pic. If it bothers you that much tell the dealer to fix it.

Got any other photos of the issue?

Does anyone know if the flap comes pre painted from Mercedes from stores or is it something that gets painted locally?
