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.

If your rear chevron kit needs to be R3B compliant (i.e. suitable for Highways use) please choose 3M Diamond Grade Microprismatic Red (4092), Nikkalite Crystal Grade Microprismatic CVF Red (92805) R3B or Orafol 6900 Brilliant Grade Microprismatic Red (030).
Either Nikkalite FEG or Oralite 5200 Rapid Air rear chevron kits are suitable for this usage, as they provide extra visibility, but do not comply with R3B guidance.
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.
