Laying Out the Front and Triangular Sides Before Cutting
I made the heater-cover front from black aluminum composite sheet.
I cut two triangular side pieces to meet the angled seat platform.
I joined the pieces with brackets and screws, then fitted the vent-facing cover.

A long composite-panel blank can provide several pieces for a cover when the cutting layout is planned together. Mark the main face, side pieces and offcuts before making the first cut, leaving space for the blade path between them. Keep the visible faces oriented consistently and mark the back of each piece with its location. Drill the attachment holes after checking the assembled outline. This helps a front face and angled sides meet neatly without assuming that the remaining offcut will fit every smaller part.
The layout shows whether the faces and side pieces fit the available sheet while allowing room for the cuts.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The two Falken alternatives provide shorter sheet dimensions in the same material family. Sheet size changes the layout of the front face and side pieces before cutting.
