I have a brand new C43. I'm curious if anyone has had any issues with swapping to a panamerica grille and the dealer saying they won't warranty something because of that. I'd do it myself as it doesn't look overly difficult. My car does have distronic so if have to be careful there. Thoughts? I don't want to run into any issues with warranty in case something breaks that I had nothing to do with.

You can do it yourself. Plan a day for it and take your time. Youtube videos are fairly accurate, but don't believe the assclowns claiming it can be done in 40min for your first time. Jack stands are the best method to lifting your car. You'll have to turn your wheels both full left and full right to get to the panel clips to remove the front underpinnings and bumper. I did mine with Distronic. The front camera may be a pain to adjust though depending on the Panamerican Grill. But when done it looks great.
Oh and I have extended warranties and scheduled service already paid through the dealer when I bought the car and have done Service A and B and they haven't said anything about the grill.

Good to hear, thanks! Where did you buy yours? Are the eBay ones any good or should I buy one from a reputable source?
