For use in towns where you’re stopping on roads under 40mph, an engineering grade kit is the minimum requirement, such as Oralite 5400, or Nikkalite FEG. Whereas, stopping on roads up to 70mph, a prismatic kit is needed, such as Oralite 5960, AveryV8000, Nikkalite Crystal Grade OR 3M Diamond Grade.
We can sell replacement panels, using the panel number. They will be exact matches for size and colour to get the kit back to full efficiency.
Our Nikkalite and 3M kits are (sonically) edge sealed, with AveryV8000 being naturally self- sealing. This protects the chevrons from water ingress, therefore preserving the quality and efficiency over time through these conditions.
