It's funny how we both sold our MK5's at similar times 2014, bought ep3's as run arounds and now ended up back in MK5's at similar times! It must be the Crawley air :grin:
I got the latest part numbers from rtechperformance website :happy2: I would post a link but signal is sh*t.
I'm using NGK 7's spark plugs in mine with a stage 1 tune but they state there good for stock -> 2+
James a VDS said you've emailed him, if you decide to go with him you won't be disappointment with his work mate.
Can't wait to see this and have a catch up :happy2:

Wife kindly took my son to the shops the other weekend so I could have a day cleaning :signLOL:
Made a start the evening before giving a full wash and dry, then got out the garage the next day to make a start.
Gave the paintwork a full clay:
Then broke out the machine polisher:
Started with my usual, 3M FastCut and green pad. Few passes on the roof and starting to get good results:
Then next was the PB Blackhole with a black waffle pad:
Getting there:
The usual marks ontop of the rear bumper:
Much better:
Boot has a few areas to improve, plus a small dent I need to get removed:
Then gave full car a coating of DJ Purple haze:
Not bad for a days work:
Over the years I have noticed, first full detail always good. But to try and get everything at once a big job. Like with everything building up overtime really helps. This car has been used and not pampered before me. So will start to notice a big improvement with the paint work over the next few months.
Next jobs, cam belt, water pump and cam chain.
