The front of the engine is succeptable to stone damage from the front tyre flicking stones at a shiny finished area, I fitted cymark stainless shield & mines as good as new after 3+ years, (the shield is still pretty good too)
Cars are not a fair comparison as their inner wheel arches are coated with 'stone chip' coating or plastic guards nowadays.
If you get this replaced you have a very good dealer & treat them with care (& let us know their name for future custom)
In my opinion I'm surprised the item isn't in worse condition..
Looks like you enjoy the ride..
Good luck & let us know how you get on..
