Matching up a kitchen unit door

Hello,

Our current kitchen units come from the Magnet range. I do not know the name of the range and it appears to be obsolete. I need to get hold of a new door and drawer front for a base unit but am having trouble matching up the design and the colour. I have been into a Magnet showroom but the sales bloke was useless. The cupboard fronts are maple coloured and have a wide border a lot like this one here... but without the 'groove'.

The one from this link would be ok except they want £300 for just a door front. I was thinking of replacing all the doors with the cheap B&Q ones for about £100, but our wall units are too small for this range (600mm not 715mm).

I am just posting in the hope anyone can offer any advice.

thanks

    I don't know how big your kitchen is, but could you move the doors around and then buy a couple of completely different doors/drawers as a kind of accent? Unless you can match them exactly, it'll look odd.
