Basically they were standard "Warmastyle" round top rads which had been cut
(top and bottom - on the outward face), bent, welded and repainted.

I don't recall it being expensive, and it was a competent job.

A house that used to be in the family had a double panel radiator
which had been modified in much the same way, with an angled bit at
each end in order to fit into a bay window. Certainly a neat and
competent job which lasted for 30 odd years between installation and
the time the house was sold.

The alternative of using three radiators, which has been outlined by
another poster, is another way of doing much the same thing by DIY.
However, with increased insulation such things are less necessary in
many houses.

In a house currently in the family the two bow windows have single
panel radiators, which have been rolled to the correct radius.
Obviously they don't have convector fins on the back. I assume there
are still places capable of rolling things into curves. They look
rather pleasing, just as the bay window radiator did, because they
are obviously made specially for the job.
