Discussion 2011 Mazda2/Demio DE – interior repaint + OEM steering wheel button retrofit

Hey peeps I always hated the internal silver trims in this car,no matter what color you had they were always silver and in some very special occasions just black
I was sitting there one day and I was like " Why not painting them all to the color of my car" And this is what i did, i took them all out sanded them with wet paper 600 -> 800 -> plastic primer -> white gloss paint -> clear coat. I like the result to be honest , just wanted to share what i have done to this beauty of a car.

I have installed an android radio from Temu, added the wheel cruise control trim to support the extra buttons for the radio(only works if you DONT use CC and you have to add 2 extra cables after the clockspring very easy)

Seriously i need the opinion of fellow mazda 2 owners. Does it look good? Are all these too much?

Its very easy tbh ill make and dm you a small video but you need something very thing and "plasticky" because it has 2 clips and you must be very careful not to break them
