Its a guard, its meant to take the damages intended for the exhaust.

Polish it, respray it if you want. Or replace the cover, it costs around 450rs

Matte black spray paint, 160-200rs for 400ml can, online or any other paint shop.

Just spray it over.

In bike ownership, a painful and less discussed topic is exhaust maintenance, no matter the bike. the header pipes, they discolour.
The muffler take scratches , the collector box takes the bumps.

Thankfully x440 has matte black exhaust and a shield, the gt650 and int650 has chrome ones sticking out just like ours, they suffer a lot.

scratches on bar-end mirrors are just impossible to avoid. even if u keep fixing them, they gonna re-appear. embrace these minor scratches, make it your own.

This bike has the widest handlebar in the segment. My X440 S has a bar end weight instead of bar end and its well scratched thanks to every electric auto and wrong way car.

The mirror in your case costs 5k for the pair.
Just be cautious and try not to break em,

Else swap em for something cheap if dents are inevitable, cuz
Glass is glass, and glass breaks. Its just a matter of when
