[/quote]First service already? when did you get your car? Did you attempt to install the grill yesterday?
[snapback]188012[/snapback]
[/quote]Not really a service, I need to bring the car back to fix all those little problems.
1. A loosen chrome trim on the passenger side window.
2. Driver's side window always get the "Anti-trap activated" bug.
3. Dead pixel in the i-drive screen.
4. Program the car with so that the mirror will fold when i lock the car
5. And of course, have the grill install!!!
No, I was too lazy yesterday.
[snapback]188017[/snapback]
[/quote]1. Interesting I have that problem too
2. I have that problem for the first few days then disappear
3. No and I hope so
4. If you lock your car, then press and hold the lock button again it will fold in. Kinda like the freedom to choose whether I want my mirrors folded or not but is just my 0.02
5. Done that by myself with satisfaction

My service advisor can't do the grill installation for me. 
I need to do it myself, if I can't do it, I will have Singfai to put it on.

Just give it a shot, you get more satisfaction that way
But how much would the shop charge you if you bring it to them?

Hey guys if they charge you too much, I can give you a hand. Don't feel too bad about asking for help. But if you really do than you can treat me yum cha better than giving those guys a few hundred to do such an easy job.
