My Empeg arrived! Long story short, they ran out of the "color" I wanted, so they had to send me an amber unit, and a green faceplate (green is what I wanted, and no complaints from me!)

I have installed the green plate and it looks great, but I have a question - the instructions for the replacement panel ask me to remove the "protective polythene layer from the front of the panel". For the life of me, I can't figure that out.

The question...
1. Should the front side of the panel be a polished "shiny" plastic finish, or will it have a bit of grain (although clear).

(the front of the amber display is smooth and polished)

I assume the clear, but slightly textured surface I am feeling is the protective plastic. How in tarnation is that removed?! I can't seem to find any place to pick at the edges to get it off... but I didn't try too hard, in case I was picking at a film that wasn't there.

If only it had 100baseT...

Thanks,
