As others have said, it looks a bit off. I'm bothered more by the slight mis-match of the crease. The fender looks a mm or two higher than the door.
You're right, I didn't notice that before. That does look a bit off.

Too bad this one didn't go to a high quality or factory authorized shop for it's respray. Outside of that it was in phenomenal condition.

Yeah I think at this point it's certainly been redone, and poorly at that. I don't mind if paintwork has been done so long as it's been done well. The dealer refused to put it on a lift while I was there to check the underside, didn't ever send pictures/videos of the underside like he said, and has ghosted me since my trip to Seattle. Guessing there may be some evidence underneath of some sort of issue.
Aston Martin Tungsten Silver is a notorious pig to match! Your car looks like it has had the front fender (wing) repainted.
When I got my 2006 V8 Vantage the left front wing was a different shade to the rest of the car. I bit the bullet and had the bonnet and wing repainted, which cost £2,000. But it is a much better match. I also had some paint mixed up in the UK and put in an aerosol. It isn't quite right, but is good enough as long as you blend it in.
If in doubt, walk away! I am sure you can find one that you want. Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
