Schoolboy error

Guys, I think I may have made a bit of a schoolboy error.
I recently got my new Boardman Team Carbon - with it came the SRAM Force front and rear mech.
I was a very giddy kipper and allowed Halfords to set it up - after a quick ride everything seemed alright so I continued to ride I think this may have been the Schoolboy error!!
I have a constant "Swish Swish" noice on the small cog and when washing it this afternoon I noticed on the big cog that there were a couple of shaved pieces of metal on the inide like swarf - looks like bad gear changes have damaged it.
The gears have never been that smooth - but because I am only farmiliar with Campy Mirage I thought this was just the SRAM - Can anyone confirm the SRAM force is smooth?
What should I do - take it back to Halfords and ask for the parts to be replaced? Do I have a chance? or just take it to my LBS (like I should have done in the first place?
Thanks
Chris
