Default B8 A4 2.0 T advice

I've located an '08 A4 2.0T tip (roughly 47K miles) that's been involved in what appears to have been a minor accident -- pass side front fender and front bumper (maybe some other small items) have been replaced -- supposedly no frame damage. I'd appreciate suggestions relating to anything that should be examined. I'm looking for a second car, and a 2.0T A4 seems to fit the bill. Here's a photo of the car in its damaged state. If anyone has any other comments on the B8 A4, please feel free to advance them. In the meantime I'll troll the forum for any past advice. Cheers.

Do you have a mechanic you trust that can check it out? Front end accidents can do serious damage to the engine and/or tranny, not to mention a plethora of other "minor" things. I would just make sure this thing passes a multitude of checkpoints before pulling the trigger.

If its an 08, its a B7. Looks like a B7 in the picture too judging by the headlights.

OK, my mistake, if it's a B7 -- thanks for the correction and to The Piombino for contribution. Any further suggestions gratefully appreciated. Keep them dogies rolling...
