Allow car owners to pay a fee to modify the spacing on car licence plates

Currently the spacing of a registration is set to first 4 characters followed by a space and then the next 3 characters in general. We want owners to be able to pay a fee to change the spacing location to how they would like providing the space is a set size, and characters in a standard font.

For example JB15 HOP could the owner pay the DVLA a fee to have it legally spaced as J B15HOP. There is no change in any of the characters displayed, and it should be readable by ANPR.

I believe some people would pay an additional fee to legally modify their licence plates. Some people do this illegally and run the risk of a fine. This would also generate the Government extra income.
