Washing the car I saw deformations of the bumper, pointed out to the dealers... We found a surprise. the supports cracked and the screws too tight. Let's wait to see what LOTUS says

I am assuming that is the front bumper, and I am further assuming the person assembling it assumed themselves that you would never see that being that the hood is permanently bolted on.

But that’s 3 separate assumptions.

yes is the front bumper. I noticed these deformations while washing the car. When I brought her home I didn't notice

the hood is permanently bolted on
I still don't understand how Lotus have twisted themselves into saying that to people. It's a hinged access panel and there are key vehicle systems behind it that are relevant to routine maintenance. The idea that the owner would be forbidden to open it is absurd.
