• Protect your company against potential legal action related to third party safety.
Whether you have 2 or 200 vehicles in your fleet, choosing the right type of Chapter 8 kit for your needs is really important. It’s easy to get this right, we just need to answer a few questions first…
What type of roads will your vehicles be used on – roads with speed limits of under or over 40MPH?
Knowing this helps you to decide which material is best for you.
What type of coverage do I need?
We supply full rear, half rear or full glazed Chapter 8 kits – just see which you think best suits your requirements.
What type of application is best for me?
All of our rear chevron kits are easy to apply, but we have planked, flooded separate and flooded applied to choose from. There is also a magnetic option for those who need the kit to be popped on and off the vehicle as and when required.
Choose from 3M, Nikkalite, Avery and Oralite refelctive materials
You can order full rear, half rear or full glazed kits from Fleet ID Limited – the choice is yours!
Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy installation, or a kit that can be used as and when needed, we have the kit application for you.

Product specificationThere are two Nikkalite products to choose from – Nikkalite Prismatic and Nikkalite FEG (Flexible Engineering Grade). Both products offer high quality, just for different types of roads.
Product specificationAvery V-8000 offer great reflectivity, making sure vehicles are seen on the road both day and night. It is durable and conforms easily to simple curves, which is great during the application process.
Product specificationOrafol 5600 Engineering Grade Rapid Air has been especially developed for high quality commercial and fleet livery. The Rapid Air technology reduces the risk of bubbles and creases during application.
Product specificationFull rear coverage refers to a Chapter 8 kit that covers the whole available area of the rear of your vehicle, including the windows if it is a van. This provides maximum visibility and can be especially useful for high roof vehicles.
Find full rear kits for your fleet hereHalf Rear coverage only covers the vehicle below the rear window. This is standard coverage for cars, but may also be required on vans too. This allows the rear windows to be free from livery, whilst still providing excellent reflective visibility to other road users.
Find half rear kits for you fleet hereFull glazed Chapter 8 kits allow for the rear window being free from livery, but add an extra bit of reflectivity around the edges and along the top of the rear of the vehicle. This can be useful for large vans.
Find full glazed kits for your fleet hereAll major vehicle manufacturers are covered here – you can order Chapter 8 kits for any vehicle from Audi to Volkswagen! Browse through the manufacturers to find yours. Alternatively, if you know your registration number, pop it into the reg look up at the top of the page to be directed straight to the correct kit for you.

Find out more about REMA’s requirementsOur Chapter 8 kits are supplied edge sealed which stops all dirt and water penetration to the cells in the panel ensuring there is no block to the light source. This keeps the reflective to the proper standard for its intended purpose.
Our Chapter 8 kits are really easy to apply. The reflective and fluorescent vinyl is self-adhesive and can be applied using a squeegee. Preparation is key to a successful chevron kit application, so please make sure you follow the guidance on the application guide that will be delivered with your kit. There are also instructions in the leaflet regarding cleaning and suitable environment for fitting too.

Standard delivery is up to 5 working days, but faster deliveries are available. Please visit out Deliveries and Returns page for further details.
If your rear chevron kit needs to be Chapter 8 compliant (i.e. suitable for Highways use) please choose 3M Diamond Grade or Nikkalite Crystal Grade. Both of these materials are fully compliant with Chapter 8 of the DFT Traffic Signs Manual. Oralite 6900 will also be available as a buy online option soon, as another Chapter 8 compliant material.
A Nikkalite FEG rear chevron kit would be suitable for this usage, as it provides extra visibility, but does not comply with Chapter 8 guidance. All of the chevron kits that we supply can be manufactured from Nikkalite FEG and there is another non-compliant reflective material – Oralite 5200 RapidAir – that will be available as a buy online option soon.
Yes – our magnetic Chapter 8 kits are perfect for this. The Chapter 8 kit is produced and applied to magnetic rubber for a really easily removable Chapter 8 kit. Before you order a magnetic rear chevron kit please check that this would be suitable for your vehicle (some vehicle rears are made up of many plastic parts, so are unsuitable for magnetic options).
We can also manufacture a fully removeable version of any of our Chapter 8 kits by placing the fluorescent and reflective markings onto a removable vinyl. This would last up to 12 months and is perfect for lease/short term hire vehicles. For further details, please call our team on 0344 2098775.
Yes – Highways compliant door lozenges are supplied as standard and at no extra cost with every Chapter 8 kit you order. Door lozenges are a very important part of your reflective vehicle markings – no kit is complete without them!
