Default blobeye interior makeover

since i fitted a double din sony sat nav ive never been happy with the centre console as the stereo is black and the fascia silver,
so after a bit of messing around i decided to paint the centre fascia,cup holder,heater rings and the fascia on my gauges gloss black,
very pleased with my work
i even treated myself to a jap spec hazard light switch which lights up at night and my old one didnt!

the headunit is great its all in one phone satnav full ipod connection and reads sd cards.
i didnt want wires all over the car and wanted as near to oe look as i could get.
i have the ipod wire routed under the middle console and have drilled a smaill hole so my ipod plugs in under the armrest hole thingy so is out of sight.
the only other wire is the phone mic but is only visable where it comes out of the top of the a pillar plastic cover and clips on the sun visor.
had carbon wrap but very hard to get to cover centre plastic part and peels and ends up loooking a bit halfrauds.
this matches the stereo good i thought
