Or...if you have the skills & tools, get some decent quality 1/4" plywood, use the old face as a template and cut out using a tablesaw for the outside, sharp jigsaw for the inside, clamped to a fronter/backer board to prevent tearout. Give yourself a bit of margin on the sharp interior turns so you can slowly sand the curve to perfection.
Quoted from MrArt2u:If you have access to a router, a pattern/flush trim bit will make short work of it. Clamp the old face to the new plywood and let the pattern bit do all the work. It will do the inside and outside cuts for you.
That's a great way to go too, but it didn't look like your orignal face panel was intact.
