Title: Cheapest place for NGK Iridium XI spark plugs?
Post by: SuperSaiyan4 on 07 February 2008, 11:39: Hi all just asked Motorworld and they want Ã‚£60 for my 2.0L 16v GTi ABF engine, surely must be cheaper place to get these plugs from?

If there is please advise.

Thanks!

Err but who ever uses parts that are recommended by the manufacturer? Thats why there are 3rd party parts that are usually regarded as upgrades or are better like the ones I got.

the best plugs i used to sell was whatever the customer wanted (if they wanted pointless splitfires they were the best or if they wanted bosch of course they were best).... otherwise it was ngk's as the reps were good friends :smug:
