Hard to do since the front face has a curve in it.
The center 80% in lightly curved. If you have an half-pipe and spread the center or pinch the ends, it curves. On the ends if you don't want to use Hersbird's pie cuts, crimp the edges. There is a dedicated hand tool. But you can just grab the edge with a fork[-like object] and twist. That's how panel beaters start, then they hammer the crimps flat again.
