Default Odd Radiator Size - Anyone Know Where I can Get One?

Hi,
She who must be obeyed has asked me to change the radiator for one
that's a bit more stylish in a room I am re-decorating, the problem is
I can't find one the same size - I can get 100mm shorter and longer
but not the same - not even a bog standard one - does anyone know
where I can get one?

The rad is a double, the size is 1900 long x 600 high

I am not too concerned about the height - this can be bigger - but the
pipes go into a concrete floor - so I don't want to have to mess with
them.

I've considered the long rad tails (from Screwfix) as a last option -
but visually this is not good.

Thanks,

kev

It'll look better if you get the next size larger and use carefully bent
'S' shaped pipe to extend from the existing ones.
