New License Plate by JPD

Today I was told that Land Transport Department(JPD) of Brunei has officially announced the use of official license plate issued by chosen authorised dealer. First of all, I would like to give JPD two thumbs up for the launching of their new design license plate. I am sure many Bruneian will accept the new license plate size. In the past, we have to abide by the 3.5" alphabet and numbering rule. That is the thing in the past. The new design now is around 2.5"! That is an inch off the original size! There are two plate versions to choose from- rectangular or square version.

I had mine done 2 days ago and both were the rectangular versions. Now the front plate has shrunk down by at least 40% from the original size. I like it!


Oh by the way, both were a D.I.Y job


Finally, official license plates that I actually prefer to use.


I got mine done at Bayu Ilham Motors at Menglait. Both plates cost me $19.00 each. Bargain if you ask me! Oh yeah, you also get a tiny "JPD" stamped on the top and another "BIM"(Authorised Dealer's initial) stamped at the bottom.

Next car going for license plate changes will be Lexus IS300.....
