Not having seen the intermediate steps between the extruded puzzle-piece and a fender skirt, I'm wondering about a tab-and slot arrangement, with each tab having a notch on one side so the piece slides sideways to lock in place and is blocked by the next piece in turn.

Less finish work?

There's a lot to be said for CNC laser or water-jet cut sheet materials.
