Hi all - I'm new to the composite world. I have made a couple of small parts but am still learning a lot. The question I have is how to lay out the fabric on a brake duct I am going to be making. 

I am struggling to determine if I should lay out the carbon fiber as shown in the picture below - essentially 5 separate pieces, as indicated by the different colored outlines. Or attempt to find a way to wrap the shape in fewer separate pieces. 

The piece will just be directing airflow so it will not see large loads so strength is not the utmost concern, I just want to make a solid part.

Thanks in advance for the help!
