Well - i'm sure you all forgot, but when i say i'm going to do something - i do it.. I just get so busy that things take a little longer than planned.. I present to you the only 'Nissan Le Mans Sunset Metallic' BeoLab 2 in the world !! It's actually got a pearl blue effect in some lights, and the colour really looks absolutely stunning

There's no way of getting the original ear foam pads i'm afraid. The black 'soft-feel' coating just rots off and most people just rub/hoover/pick off the remnants to leave the off-white fabric underneath. I have seen the earpads covered in speaker fabric before, but it's never a neat job. Lee

Tom: I bet you know the melody! He's probably re-mixed it already... Happy Birthday Alex !!! You can buy me a pint next time i'm in Bath !! Have a great evening - i can only assume you are 'on one' - and i hope the head isn't too bad tomorrow. Lee

Unfortunately, it's only the Mk3 1080p panel BeoVision 7 - 40" that can have the Blu-Ray player retro-fitted. Could it be something to do with the fact it has the BeoSystem 3 engine in it? I don't know.. However - it is 100% correct that there has been no mention of a retro-fit on the 32". Lee

Dillen: Maybe someone should invent transparent packing ? Martin At least that would give the dishonest ones an informed choice of which box to steal... Lee

So, there we go - experiment complete. Proof that a Bang & Olufsen Television can be sent with absolutely ZERO packaging and arrive in almost the same condition it was sent. My father asked the courier in no uncertain terms when it arrived in a strong Yorkshire accent "So, ow come yer can smash a diamond - but yer can transport this delicate

And finally - the part of every TV i have ever couriered that has been damaged.. the top. I have had supremely well packed televisions broken by couriers - which i could only assume King Kong had used as a perch for swatting aeroplanes as they were completely marmalised. However, 'sans packing' - we have a 'top' that actually arrived

Side - There were two marks to the side already, and now there are a further two light rub marks. Oh deary me... terrible. (not)

Rear - Perfect - not a mark !!!

Virtually unscathed... GAH !!! Here's the front view.. a very light mark to the screen, that's it. Speaker grille, perfect - IR cover, intact and perfect, lower front panel, perfect... (more views to follow)
