I am not sure a wooden surround suits the tubes. That ally one looks the biz, all personal choice of course, i think they look great with a industrail look.  :happy2:


....You took the words out of my mouth - That's exactly what I think and was going to post.

I prefer the metal but I'm quite a fan of wood too.

We all know that.  :signLOL:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
