    The real way to tell is looking under the bonnet at the valance, legs etc.

    But it looks like it had a smack at some stage.

    Possibly a crooked bonnet, my van has one and makes it look like a bad repair job!

    Now that's a very poor effort if that's a repair job...

    Bumper is different shade, dead giveaway it has been replaced/ touched up

    In the states:
    WBAGK2328TDH_1D_9AB5FC20BE7E4CY.jpg

    The rear light clusters are full of water/condensation, the 750il badge is in the wrong place, the boot lid doesn't line up with the bodywork, the black bumper strip looks like a salvaged part and rear right PDC sensor is also smashed in.

    Defo got a hammering from the rear.

    *tee hee*

    Yes, my dad reversed it into a garage door! Apart from that and the odd spec of rust it is very clean :)

    It is only when you look closer you realise...

    That's the one I've posted in coffins on wheels, honestly I wouldn't spot anything wrong with this elantra if it comes to bodywork, all panels aligned and gaps ok

    That's why these cut and shuts are so dangerous, impossible to spot for a naked eye imo.
