£3,200. My dealer made the same enquiry on my behalf. We were both shocked by the ridiculous cost.

That is totally unreasonable. Seriously.

It must require a firmware AND software update. 

Well when you think a set of BL4 covers was £80 (iirc), then there is ridiculous and there is bigger ridiculous 

To be fair, that cost is for eight different grilles, with a large area of grille cloth, all pre-fitted on very specifically shaped frames and beautifully finished. In addition, the speakers cost £53,000 new - that’s only 6% of their cost!

As an aside, I clouted one of the oak panels on our BL90s when installing new connections, and snapped one of the grille-peg type holders that fix it in place. They are not like normal grille pegs and are angled, so I could not find anything like them, and B&O cannot provide new pegs as they are glued in place. However, a complete replacement oak panel with three of the pegs fitted is £160, which I didn’t think was too bad. Reminds me - I must order it, as repairing the old peg with about five different types of glue has failed so far, and Blu-Tac only holds it in place for a few weeks at a time!

If you have snapped the plastic...yeah out of luck. However, I find the Apex peg difficult to remove intact. However, i find evostick bonds it back on without issue - that is until you have to remove the panel again. Rinse/repeat.
