Well, I changed my front seat locker handles on my 2016 524 because I got fed up of banging my heels and ankles on the very prominent sharp cornered ones Lunar fitted! Never heard of 'Ergonomics' Lunar!!!!! Clearly NOT, definitely style over function at work!
They were 'standard' 160mm fixing centres, so I just bought some more ergonomic handles from Toolstation at under £3 each. The old ones simply unscrew and the new one fit without any modifications to door or handle. Same handles throughout van, I could change them all if I wished, but the new ones on the underseat lockers are hardly noticeable so didn't bother.
Handles are widely available from most DIY outlets, you have quite a choice at between £2 - £3 each, much cheaper and no doubt better quality, mine were solid stainless steel, than Lunar are trying to rip you off with. Measure your fixing centres before buying replacements - they come in a number of different fixing centres! Keep the old ones safe (somewhere dry, and well wrapped up) and you can easily return van to original spec when you sell if you wish.
As to the chrome finish, yes some of mine have 'pits' and a rough surface developing. I did swap a couple of the now spare removed handles for ones fitted in the bathroom as they were the worst pitted. It's due to poor quality plating letting moisture get to the underlying alloy casting, which corrodes and lifts the plating off.
