I suppose if I got real paranoid about the warranty, I could refit them, but I'm just not going to worry about it. If the dealer says anything about it, I'll tell them to "Shut up and service the car, mate!" I mean, I'm entitled to an oil change and check up, right? How is the pulley going to affect that????

Wow, that's really lame. Seems like if you add the JCW kit when the car is new, you essentially have new parts coming off that could be sold to others. Wonder how they can justify that one.
