Just the bottom corner which was yellow from the coolant and appeared rotten. The metal honeycomb crumbled when touched in this area.
So remains a bit of a mystery..photo attached. New radiator now in place. Cost £125 OEM.

No mystery.....Your radiator was ready to start leaking and you footballed it over the edge. You never mentioned the yr of the car or the miles on it. Do you KNOW about the coolant that was in it? If some replacement coolant not designed for the car, it could lead to early rot. Also, organic debris stuck in the radiator could possibly rot it from the outside. I hope the mechanic checked that out on the opposite side while the bumper skin was off. You got away easy....could have been worse.
What kind of coolant was installed with the repair???????
