Chevron kits help vehicles stand out and contribute to safer driving conditions for everyone using the road network. Below, we look at suitable kit options and the steps required for a tidy installation.

What Are Citroën Chevron Kits?

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.

Built to withstand weather exposure and everyday wear, these large decals remain effective for years when fitted correctly. 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.

Types of Citroën Chevron Kits

Citroën Berlingo chevron kits are designed for rear doors and body panels, providing a tailored fit.

Owners of Dispatch vans can obtain kits designed specifically for post-2016 standard models.

Different Relay configurations, including taller and Luton-bodied models, can be fitted with dedicated chevron kits. Their purpose is to improve rear visibility and assist with compliance requirements.

Benefits of Using Chevron Kits

One of the main advantages of chevron kits is improved visibility in poor lighting conditions. When vehicles are operating near live traffic at night, highly visible markings can reduce risk. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

In addition to safety, vehicle graphics can support marketing efforts. Businesses can display company names, logos, contact details, or campaign information on their vehicles. Personalised graphics can make a vehicle stand out from standard factory finishes.

Applying a Chevron Kit

Before installation, thoroughly clean the surface where the graphics will be applied. Removing contaminants reduces the chance of lifting or poor adhesion later.

Once prepared, position the kit carefully and apply it using the adhesive side against the vehicle. Working with a squeegee can help prevent bubbles and wrinkles beneath the vinyl. When fitted correctly, the graphics can remain effective for many years before replacement is required.

Points to Consider

There are several factors to review before fitting a chevron kit. Chevron patterns are most commonly found on vehicles used for work-related roadside duties.

Although highly durable, chevron kits do not last indefinitely. Peeling, fading, or wear may occur after extended use, making replacement necessary. Regular inspection and timely replacement can help preserve their effectiveness.
