Best & cheapest don't always go well together.

Any mods?

Current trend seems to be Nology Silver plugs - seem good to me  :happy2:

Standard NGK plugs are fine mate: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-NGK-Platinum-Spark-Plugs-VW-Golf-2-0-GTI-Hatchback-MK-V-2003-2009-/271038498517?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf|Plat_Gen%3AMK+V&hash=item3f1b2746d5

For tuned engines Nology Silver are very nice, but don't last as long by all accounts.

Can anyone tell me whether NGK Iridiums are ok to use?  As these are cheaper:
