Default Wire edge - then bend?

While I would normally say, '"Shape first, then put on the rolled wire edge", this piece (maybe) gives me a choice of putting the wire edge in first with the piece flat, then bending the piece to the contour (bend is in one dimension only). Once it's bent, I'll then put in a joggle on the rear edge, since the joggle seems less likely to put up with bending.

Why am I thinking this way? Well, the bends are rather tight at the corners, and it looked like it might be tough to roll that edge over in that configuration. Then again, it could merely be congenital idiocy on my part

The part in question is the short cowling that surrounds the seat back, as seen in the picture here. What say experts?
