Many vehicles use chevron kits to increase visibility and support safer road use. Below, we look at suitable kit options and the steps required for a tidy installation.

What Is a Citroën Chevron Kit?

A chevron kit consists of durable vinyl graphics designed for vehicle application. They can be used to personalise a vehicle’s appearance or increase its visibility to other road users.

Designed for durability, the graphics resist rain, sunlight, and regular road use over extended periods. For commercial vehicles working near roads, the kit usually includes red and yellow rear-facing chevrons. This makes the vehicle easier to spot during daylight hours and in low-light conditions.

Available Citroën Chevron Kit Options

For Berlingo models, dedicated kits fit neatly onto the rear doors and panels.

Citroën Dispatch chevron kits are manufactured to suit standard models produced from 2016 onwards.

Different Relay configurations, including taller and Luton-bodied models, can be fitted with dedicated chevron kits. They can help operators meet the recommendations set out in Chapter 8 of the UK Traffic Signs Manual.

Advantages of Chevron Kits

Chevron kits provide a clear visibility benefit when light levels are reduced. Roadside maintenance vehicles working after dark are far easier for motorists to recognise when fitted with chevrons. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

Chevron graphics may also be used for promotional purposes. Commercial operators often use vehicle graphics to advertise products and services while travelling. Private owners may also choose bespoke designs to give a vehicle a more individual appearance.

Applying a Chevron Kit

Start by removing dirt, dust, and residue from the vehicle surface. A clean surface improves adhesion and helps achieve a better finish.

After cleaning, align the graphics accurately before securing them in place. Working with a squeegee can help prevent bubbles and wrinkles beneath the vinyl. A well-applied kit can provide long-lasting performance.

Points to Consider

A few practical considerations should be assessed before installation. Such graphics are usually intended for commercial and operational vehicles rather than private transport.

Like any external graphic, they will eventually show signs of ageing. Eventually, the graphics may require renewal to maintain appearance and effectiveness. In many cases, replacement at roughly ten-year intervals is recommended to maintain compliance and visibility standards.

Summary

Citroën chevron kits provide a practical way to improve vehicle visibility and support roadside safety. Proper fitting ensures the graphics remain effective for years. Further details on vehicle graphics and adhesive solutions can be found through App Tape.
