So I eventually got around to wrapping the wood dash trim in suede/alcantera. Total cost £17 and about a half hour of fitting.
This is what I used. Enough for two dash wraps:

Has anyone managed to wrap the bits on the door on the newer cars?
Also has anyone looked at getting alcantara headlining?

No, the wrap is self adhesive. Pretty easy to fit since the dash is a simple shape. You need a spludger tool (or a credit card) to flatten out the wrap and force it into the lip where the wood meets the plastic and then a sharp knife to cut it at that line. The only slightly tricky bit is doing the outside corner on the left and right at the back. But a little wedge cut will sort that and because the material is fluffy, any slight error here won’t be visible.

It's a tiny bit darker, but not a big deal. It'll probably fade in time anyhow.
Regarding the door trims in later models - it seems that the wood inserts are not too hard to remove and wrap. Do a search on YT - there are some vids there showing it.
It's the "Top Fit" display. I did a post about it here:
Topfit Steering Wheel Display
I've been umming and ahhing for some time about the need (or not) for a speedo display above the steering wheel. My test drive of an i4 recently told me that I really do miss it, so I've been looking at options. I initially thought I'd go with an Android device so that I could get CarPlay as...
