Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: both front headlamps are missing, and the front bumper cover is severely damaged and separated. The front bumper cover has large openings at both headlamp positions, torn and scraped edges, extensive scuffing, and separated lower and corner sections. Internal components are exposed behind the bumper. Both headlamp assemblies, along with multiple bumper, underbody, and trim pieces, are removed from the vehicle; the detached parts are shown on the ground. The lower chrome-colored bumper trim is also separated, and additional white and black exterior trim pieces are detached. Minor paint scuffs and abrasions are visible near the front edge of the hood and upper bumper area. Additional minor cosmetic damage includes dark scuffing along the lower rocker panels and lower door edges, light scuffing around the left rear bumper corner and adjacent quarter panel, and light marks on the lower rear bumper.
