The auction lists the primary damage as **Left Side**. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim, with damage concentrated at the vehicle’s front-left, driver-side corner. The most significant damage is at the front-left exterior. The headlamp assembly has a severely broken outer lens and housing, with internal components exposed and portions missing. The front-left bumper cover is severely torn and displaced, with a large irregular opening and separated lower-corner material. The lower bumper intake and trim are also broken and displaced, leaving the surrounding opening exposed. Moderate deformation is visible along the front-left edge of the hood, including a raised and creased section above the headlamp and an uneven adjacent panel gap. The front-left fender edge and headlamp surround are deformed, with disrupted panel gaps around the damaged lamp. Overall, the front-left corner shows substantial collision damage involving the headlamp, bumper, lower trim, hood edge, fender, and adjoining body panels. The condition of internal mounting points, wiring, cooling components, safety systems, and mechanical components cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked during a physical inspection.
