I broke the clip when installing SSTT.

So when I was installing the TT, and I was unplugging the TMAP I accidently broke the clip. Should I worry about my warranty? The reason I ask is, I plan to take out the TT when I go to get my car serviced, and they see that the clip was broken. Will they try and say that I was tampering with engine and will void my warranty?

Just to be safe, contact Jeff @ Eurobahn and he has those clips for about 80-90 bucks. Cheaper then BMW dealer of course.
