Bit of a boast and a bit of a concern where that was going! 
 

I presume you’re looking for a good set and that they’re not too expensive?
 

Gone are the days of Champion and NKG’s at 2 quid a pop; plugs now appear to be ridiculously expensive at about 80 odd quid a set. 

Again you can look up alternatives, going cheap is usually not a good idea but get good quality at lower prices usually is.

 

I would go for the expensive long last plugs if changing them is a PITA (what isn't on a modern car), I like to go for NGK as a spark plug brand, again care is needed with their database and I'd check the threads search faculty for here (sometimes easier via external search engine) and as you have ask for advice from here (from others).

 

I was going to change the plugs on my wife's Fabia this spring (and air filter) but when I investigated it I need to buy a coil puller tool, appropriate plug socket, a more accurate lower torque wrench (that went up £50 in price) and then even the four standard NGK plugs would all add up to more than the Dealership cost to do the work.  Yes I've got the tools for next time or other work but I don't want to do any other work and I hope the car is gone by the time it needs plugs again.

 

@numskulllast year I got four NGK plugs for my car for £10 and a few years before that I tried some £1 a piece NGK plugs, showed fine on the rollers, a mate never cleans the plugs on his but replaces them every year as part of the service, cars from the 60s and 70s were so much simpler.  Oh the joys of 21st century "German engineering". 😄

I was checking euro car parts,or Halfords 

They only offer two type of Bosch spark plugs...price about £20 each,same Spark plugs on eBay £10 each....I believe £100 for 4 I can spend

Maybe check here.  http://opieoils.co.uk

 

& as to ebay etc be aware of hooky spark plugs on sale so just buy from trusted traders.   As to what Europarts show,well that needs treble dhecked.

It only shows one item there...and it is Bosch😔

Yes indeed.   & that is what many will actually fit. or DENSO or whatever. 

Ive heard the NGK are good ...can someone advise four of them till max 100-120 for all 4?

NGK are good, they even make plugs that have VW/AUDI on them, Bosch are good, they get fitted to VW,s. Bosch even did the engine management for VW group and then VW were caught with defeat devices, DENSO are good.  Just get the correct spec plugs for the engine.
