Cutting shower panels to fit round window

Hi,

does anyone have any advice on cutting shower panels (such as http://www.splashpanel.co.uk/) to fit round a window? The window has a wooden lining or reveal that protrudes by 20 mm from the studwork of the wall on all sides and is 1010 x 1230 mm in dimensions.

Do I need to cut a rectangular cutout from two panels and fit them round the window, meeting above and below the window? And how would I cut neat internal corners?

None of the online guides show fitting them around something like this, is it not what they're designed for or just I've got an unusual requirement?
