I always try to refrain from negativity but in this case I had to point out a few things in my BaT comment. Give me a Like there if you agree.

Did they smack the left strut tower with a hammer to lower the top leading edge to avoid it coming into conflict with a closed hood?

Especially the largest bump ( with the darkest green shadow, on the bottom edge of the pic ) shows it bulging out towards the left (outside) of the vehicle. Meaning the blow must have come from the top.

I just can't make up any other mechanism that could have produced these funny bumps, while still showing original spotwelds on the inner fenders.
It doesn't look to me as if it's been hit from the side to create those bumps.

I am wondering if it was crashed and that inner fender suffered damage. Based on the rest of the sheet metal work (floors), the body guys were not very skilled.

I have to chuckle when someone refers to this forum as the “e9 mafia” as was done in the comments. (I prefer “Cosa Nostra”) Wonder who they think “The Don” is?
Knowledge is power.;>)

You were very diplomatic. The car looks like gold from the outside, but under the skin..yikes!!
