Are you a PLAYBOY? Eight of Hong Kong’s best vanity license plates

Among the plethora of supercars roaring through Hong Kong’s densely packed city streets, vehicle owners have found a way to stand out from the crowd.

Beyond luxurious interiors and “pimped-out” paint jobs, is the city’s sustained trend of customised license plates – otherwise known as Personalised Vehicle Registration Mark (PVRM).

Whether drivers are looking to share their favourite fatty acid OMEGA 3, or feeling a little obvious with a Porsche licensed PORSCHE, it seems that the popularity of these vanity plates is here to stay.

The process of attaining ones dream plates is long and requires commitment. Individuals must submit an application, wait for their application to be selected, have their application checked against requirements, make a deposit, have their plates vetted and then finally auction for their prize.

In the most recent auction on September 5, the total sales proceeds reached almost HK$2.9 million, and in the past some auctions have even surpassed HK$11 million.
