Can you detect the body damage on this BAT car?

Seems slow around here, so I'll post this here instead of OT or Marketplace.

It obviously got hit pretty badly on the right front and repaired by an amateur who only had a hammer in his tool box.

Definitely looks like a repair underneath in the same spot.
I can only see the obvious stuff elsewhere (sloppy paint job taping, incorrect/misaligned rear reflector, weird passenger door gap)

But, what is the obvious tell that it was hit in the passenger front ??

Is it me or are the oil lines crushed in that one pic of the overspray?
Bad lines around front passenger side of frunk hood and fender/bumper behind pass rear wheel.
Hammer marks in frunk near pass batt. Other stuff may be too subtle for my untrained eye.

Is this what you mean?
This is what the commenter meant by "obviously hit in the front passenger side" ?
