Exactly. I actually replaced the box in my 1993 W124 because the vinyl material had peeled back. It was around $50-$60, which ain't bad.

I just transferred over the slidng wood door and lock.

However, the 500E's have burlwood and the E320's have Zebrano, so the wood would not be a good match.

I would just buy a new box and install it w/o the lid. You really don't need it anyway. It also serves as a terrific cup holder.
