If you are changing anything, consider the 360 camera. This is a huge improvement on just the rear camera. The rear window line is high and it’s hard to see right behind the car. The parking sensors are pessimistic and leave room for the boot to open. The mirrors are easy to reverse with as well. I only usually switch to the rear camera to make sure I’ve left enough room for the garage door to open as the car needs to be positioned accurately to fit on the drive.

The 360 camera is amazing - one of those things you don't know how you survived without. It's great for working out distance to leave and I find it a god send as my work car park is super tight and I often have to squeeze between parked cars, so easy to see what room you have.

Got a response from Volvo.
As expected they think it looks fine, but to have a chat with a dealer if i think it’s faulty.
No surprise there.
I’ll have the conversation at my 3 month check if it still bothers me.
I reckon it won’t.
