Unscrew the central armrest, which has matching color leather, then take it to a place that matches colors for interior latex paint. (Do you have Home Depot in Finland yet?) Have a quart of Hi-Gloss latex paint mixed. About $9 here. Because it's very dark, they might not get it right the first time, so check the color carefully and test some that you let dry fully. Have it re-done if necessary.

Then dab it on with a rag, and rub it into the leather. This gives it a thin, even coat. I've done this on many cars (including my Boxster Red interior). It works great! And the remaining paint can be used to touch up dings and damage on the dash, doors, and any other area covered with leather. You could even repaint that shifter knob -- I did mine, and it's looking and feeling great after and year and a half and 15,000 miles.
