Hi d,
Typically the pre-bent line is bent in an area that's totally straight. The suppliers realize if they bent any other place you'd have no idea what to do.
So I'd say straighten what you have in that way.
OFTEN the lines take a bit of messaging to get a nice fit where the bends are tighter and compound.
Regards,
Alan

thanks,those are a good start,
a great add-on to this site would be a ''just pic section'' for simple things like this, also color pics that show the real colors/finishes/paint overspray,would be a way to keep the resto's as close to factory
