Does this car Bonnet look tampered with ?? (Picture) Bodywory/Dent/Sprayed ???

Does this car bonnet look tampered with/ or like it is a new one which has been fitted on the car?

You don't have to be a dent/spray expert

Look at the part of the bonnet around the light :
It is NOT in line/level with the metal on the right side of the car

(look in the center of the light, at the top, that line doesn't look level ?)

and also, it has no rain on it


Could this suggest a new bonnet has been put on, and indicate that the car has had some damage done to the front, and the bonnet has been replaced ?

Worse case scenario ? It could have had a major front crash, and engine was mashed up in it? (causing potential hidden engine problem- right ? )

Thank you

The offside wing looks odd.

Yes, more probable the wing has been resprayed and the bonnet is original and paint flat

The bonnet looks a different colour and the paint on the front wing and possibly bumper looks dull and non standard.

Yep the wing looks flat like its not laquered. Water just on that area appears to be they are trying to hide it. Is that a dent on the bonnet also?

I wouldnt give it a 2nd look.

You need all round pictures, but it is the flat wing that sticks out in comparison to the door even.

Is that primer on the flat wing??
It looked like the reflection of the clouds first.

The wing I'm 95% sure has been re sprayed. The bonnet looks like it may have had something poured over it.

Looks like a rather old, !!!!!! Audi.

Why are you contemplating such a car?

Buy a Skoda and stick Audi badges on it, you will get a better car for less money.

My cousin had a similar issue months ago, so they thought about it before rushing.
