They have a silver one in stock, but its LY7W not Avus Silver. IIRC you can't just swap the innards.

Very easy to swap, though you do have to remove the boot lid lining to get at the securing bolt, which involves a fair few screws/bolts.
There are also two press-stud type retainers (roughly just left and right of the centre) which can be a bit scary to pull against unless you've done it before and know you have all the screws and bolts out.
After plenty of practice I can get in there in about 5 minutes now!
